"I usually do a series, and the production cycle of a series can be several years. ”
Speaking of Suzhou embroidery, everyone will always be amazed by its "double-sided embroidery" technique, but in fact, compared to its "Tibetan needle lead", the early design is the most consuming craftsman's energy. Fu Jian said: "What to embroider, how to embroider, what kind of beauty to embody? These are all things that we need to consider in the early stage. As for the theme of choosing bronzes, in his opinion, he also wanted to try new themes besides embroidered flowers and birds.

"Embroidered Lang" left nails,
It is to better pluck the silk
Fu Jian, who was born in an embroidery family, was influenced by the family environment since he was a child, and gradually became interested in this craft, in order to better inherit the Suzhou embroidery skills, he applied for the art and design department of Beijing University of Technology. Today, he has won many honors in the industry, such as "Senior Arts and Crafts Artist" and "National Light Industry Technical Expert".
In fact, there are many people in Suzhou who have been exposed to Suzhou embroidery when they were young, so many people here probably have some embroidery foundation, but there are not too many people who stick to Suzhou embroidery as a career or can learn to be proficient. Fu Jian thinks: "Anyone can learn Suzhou embroidery, but whether they can learn Suzhou embroidery well? ”

Not only that, in this industry where women account for the majority, his "embroiderer" is particularly precious. According to Fu Jian's description, in fact, men learning embroidery is not as different as everyone thinks, but it does have advantages, "mainly in terms of physical strength, men may be a little different from women, but female masters will do things very finely." ”
In Fu Jian's video, careful netizens also found that his fingers have nails of a certain length, Fu Jian said frankly that the purpose of keeping nails is to be able to better pluck the silk thread when embroidering, and usually need to pay attention to hand maintenance in daily life, in case of accidentally grinding the precious silk due to rough hands.
It is worth mentioning that in film and television dramas, Fu Jian also refuted the rumors about the serious damage to the eyesight of some "embroidery" characters due to long-term embroidery: "In reality, it is really not that serious, and we are not out of the door, if we only do this one thing every day, it is possible." ”
