On October 16, a reporter from The Cloud Daily walked into the Yonghe Villagers Group of Binggai Village, Jiubao Achang Nationality Township, Lianghe County, and in a courtyard with Achan characteristics, a dark-skinned little boy was weaving cloth in front of a loom machine, and a woman dressed in Achan costume next to her gave guidance from time to time.
The boy's name is Li Genxu, 8 years old this year, who has been learning the art of Achang brocade weaving for nearly 6 years, and the Achang woman who is guided by the side is his grandmother, Liang Runxian, the representative inheritor of the Achang brocade at the provincial level.
"When I first saw my grandmother playing the line, I thought it was fun, so I followed suit. Later, I thought that weaving was also fun, I could weave red, red, green and green threads into pieces of cloth, make beautiful clothes, tube skirts Grandma found that I was interested in weaving, and began to guide me, now I learn to weave, but also cut 6 kinds of colors. When the reporter asked why he liked weaving, Li Genxu stopped the work in his hand and introduced it with a smile.
Liang Runxian was also very surprised, at first he thought that his grandson was only three minutes of heat, but he did not think that the more he learned, the more he liked it. At first, Liang Runxian also hesitated, thinking that weaving was made by girls, but seeing that his grandson was very talented and insisting on learning, he changed his mind. "Boys can also inherit the brocade weaving skills of our Achan people, and now he weaves very well, and the cloth he recently woven has been bought."
It is understood that Liang Runxian is a representative inheritor of the Achang ethnic brocade at the provincial level, who learned brocade with his mother at the age of 15 and now has more than 30 years of experience in brocade weaving. Because of such a good craft, under her influence, grandson Li Genxu has been heard since childhood, starting to follow the thread at the age of 3, learning to weave at the age of 6, being able to cut flowers at the age of 7, and being 8 years old this year, he can already complete a weaving fabric independently, and cut 6 kinds of flowers.
Jiubao Achang Nationality Township as one of the only three Achang nationality townships in the country, in recent years, with the care and support of the party committee and government, the Achang ethnic culture has been well protected and inherited in the local area, and the Achang brocade weaving skills are one of them. Nowadays, when you go into the township, you can always see the elderly with children or young people learning to tapestry, and Li Genxu, who is only 8 years old this year, is the youngest of them.
