The Origin of Miao Embroidery and Its Modern Significance

I. The embroidery art of the Miao nationality embroidered by the Miao nationality is one of the unique manifestations of the Miao nationality's history and culture, and is the crystallization of the industrious wisdom of the Miao women. Legend has it that a female leader named Lan Juan, in order to remember the journey experience of the trekking trek, came up with the method of using colored lines to remember the yellow line of the Yellow River embroidered strips, crossed the Yangtze River embroidered blue line, and embroidered a symbol mark over the mountains and mountains. When the final arrival can be settled, the collar and the hem are fully embroidered. From then on, the Miao girl must wear a hand-embroidered dress to marry her, to commemorate the departed native land, to commemorate the heroic and intelligent predecessors, and to inherit the beauty that was passed down from the predecessors, not forgetting the ancestral industry, after the encouragement people.

Second, the modern meaning of Miao embroidery style Miao embroidery is a traditional Chinese folk culture. Due to the special geographical environment of the Miao nationality, it has become a place where traditional Chinese literati culture is hard to reach. The special folk culture of the Miao nationality has always supported this ancient The development of the nation has formed a unique folk customs and personality spirit in the Miao area.

1. Practical Miao embroidery art is closely related to real life, and its content is close to daily production and life, and the style is simple and true. Close to life, Miao embroidery has retained the characteristics of the art when it was created, that is, the integration of art and production activities or life scenes in the original art period. In this kind of artistic activity, material production and spiritual production are intertwined, creating products that have both practical value and aesthetic function. This is also worth learning in our future design life. The designer's mission of beauty that we are given. The beauty of life is refined and closely integrated with production, giving people a visual enjoyment on the premise of being practical. At the same time, Miao embroidery fully reflects the unity of practicality and decoration through the dependence on various daily necessities, such as clothing, purses and various Bush objects. It is the unity of the practicality of matter and the aesthetic function of the spirit. An aesthetic creation, which is a reproduction of the history, culture, art, and belief of the Miao nationality. With this kind of rich cultural heritage as the premise and reference of design, these spiritual values ​​are preserved in the design thinking, so that we can give the traditional spirit to the modern design works in the future design, so that it has rich connotation.

2. Artistic Miao embroidery is simple and elegant, sometimes even infiltrating a kind of innocent and romantic feelings. The symbolic intention that it pursues transcends reality constitutes a traditional art style, and at the same time has multilateral flexible expression techniques; It is primitive and primitive, yet modern and avant-garde, showing a kind of intentional and expressive isomorphic space that can be seen in modern art. In terms of artistic styling, no matter the structure, not the perspective, or even disregarding the proportion and the falsehood; not seeking the same shape, or even ignoring the logic of affairs, completely freely and boldly creatively based on the good wishes and fantasies of the Miao people. They all pursue the free combination of images, so that the volume of natural objects is completely eliminated, leaving only the composition of colored lines and faces, organically stacked in space, forming a unique artistic shape, the picture presents an uninterrupted The movement process. This strange and bold image, space and atmosphere, scale is often unexpected and extraordinary. This kind of composition itself gives artistic intuition and imagination a great room for maneuver. It is a rare reference system for modern art. The Miao embroidery has abstract, unrealistic indications, and Western "Cubism" art. The characteristics of visual imagination are coincident. In the embroidered patterns of Miao embroidery, I can even see the figures of Van Gogh and Matisse, and vaguely discover the atmosphere of Picasso. This is the uniqueness of folk art. It rejects the rigid and mechanical representation of reality, pursues unique and free expression of personality in art, and reflects people's ideals and pursuits. This is also in line with the modernist claims that emerged in the 19th century. Its simplification and abstraction beyond nature, and its conceptual styling and symbolism are in line with the performance requirements of modern art.

3. Reference and imitation. With regard to the reference and imitation of materials, Miao embroidery art is widely used, from living plants and animals to inanimate river beach pebbles, pig's trotters, and even dirt ditch, etc., are the objects of needlework performance of Miao people. . On the whole, the national consciousness of worshiping animals is strong, depicting animal patterns in the majority of Miao's costumes, especially the dragons enjoy a high status in the minds of the Miao people. They give good wishes and aesthetics in the image of the dragon. Feelings, Miao embroidered dragons in a variety of shapes, some dragons have many feet; some dragons are composed of links, body fat round, no claws, no scales, some dragons are the first person, but also have wings, people, Birds and dragons are mixed together. These patterns are rich in modernity, exaggerated and vivid, and are valuable in modern decorative art, and their extensiveness is unparalleled. This allows us to open our minds and adjust in design. The idea is a rare textbook.

With regard to the reference and imitation of expression techniques, in the perennial art study, it is inevitable that there will be a mindset, and the Miao embroidery art expression technique is directly and expressive, not bound by the natural image, boldly adopting the art of deformation and exaggeration in the modeling. For the aesthetic needs, the Miao women put the wings of the butterfly on the bird. The tiger’s body also has fish scales. The animal’s eyes can grow on the back. They can create bird-shaped flowers and create flower patterns. bird. Created an artistic image that looks unreasonable and in line with its original thinking. While marveling at its expression techniques, we will overthrow the previous understanding of the meaning of the mind, liberating it from a one-sided or even dull thinking, but not completely chaotic and disorderly, it is an ideological Orderly and purposeful liberation, and reproduce this bold imaginary figure in the creation of art, and use it for us.

Studying the Miao embroidery art is a process of absorbing and digesting it. In the initial contact with the Miao embroidery art, it is a long process to thoroughly analyze and thoroughly study. But this is not our ultimate goal, we need It is to create again, to create works of art that have the traditional Miao culture and meet the requirements of our current work. Only by studying carefully and not superficially, we can study and learn Miao embroidery art in depth, in order to turn this part of modern art into a fresh blood and inject it into the creation of modern art.
