Nguyen Mai and the Suzhou-Hangzhou Air Force: A Cultural Journey Through Time and Space
In the latest version of Honkai: Star Railway, the appearance of a new character, Nguyen Mei, has undoubtedly breathed new life into the game. She not only won the love of many fans with her unique charm, but also launched a unique cooperation with Suzhou Museum in reality. This collaboration not only makes the character of Nguyen Mai more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but also makes people re-examine those traditional skills that have been forgotten in the corner of time.
When we talk about Jiangnan, what comes to mind is often the beautiful scenery of ink painting and the traditional culture like silk. And the setting of Ruan Mei's role is closely connected with this Jiangnan water town. She is not only a traveler walking between the stars, but also a woman with deep feelings for traditional culture. In the game, her love of traditional Chinese dim sum and drama, as well as her love of embroidery, all show us a character with a classical temperament.
And when Ruan Mei and the Suzhou Museum carried out offline linkage, this classical temperament was further sublimated. As one of the representatives of Jiangnan culture, Suzhou Museum has a rich collection and profound heritage. The addition of Nguyen Mai seems to have injected new vitality into this ancient museum. Her cooperation with Suzhou Museum is not only a simple combination, but also a deep exchange and collision.
West Lake silk umbrella, Gusu paper-cutting, Suzhou embroidery, these typical Jiangnan cultural heritage skills have been fully demonstrated in this cooperation. They complement each other with the character of Nguyen Mai, and together they outline a beautiful picture of cultural integration. The lightness of the West Lake silk umbrella, the delicacy of the paper-cutting, and the delicacy of Suzhou embroidery all complement Ruan Mei's watery tenderness.
The West Lake silk umbrella made by Mr. Song Zhiming is made of bamboo, silk is the surface, and the plum is in the painting. When the umbrella is opened, it seems that you can feel the tenderness and elegance of Jiangnan. And when Coser "walked and swayed" the young lady to hold up this umbrella, it seemed that time stood still at this moment, only the tenderness of the Jiangnan woman was like water, gentle and jade.
Grandpa Zhang Weiwei, the inheritor of Gusu paper-cutting, used a carving knife to vividly present the image of Ruan Mei on the red paper. Every time the knife rises and falls, it is a tribute to traditional skills. And when a complete set of paper-cut works is presented in front of them, people can't help but be impressed by this exquisite skill.
Of course, it is Su embroidery that cannot be mentioned. The representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Suzhou embroidery embroidered Ruan Mei on the fan, and every stitch and thread was full of emotion and skill. Holding this Su embroidery fan in his hand, it seems that he can feel the gentleness and talent of Jiangnan women.
