[Daily Learning] Inherit and Develop National Traditional Culture Well General Secretary | Miao Embroidery | Culture
Miao embroidery is an embroidery technique created and passed down by generations of Miao women through hard work for thousands of years. Miao embroidery works often use patterns such as birds, animals, flowers, birds, fish, and insects, with colorful and bright colors, expressing the spiritual world of Miao compatriots who respect nature, remember their ancestors, and pursue a better life. To this day, it still plays a very important role in the daily life of the Miao people.
In recent years, in Miao ethnic communities such as Guizhou, Hunan, and Yunnan, from establishing intangible cultural heritage workshops to building training bases, from introducing design teams to settling on e-commerce platforms... People have actively cultivated the Miao embroidery industry, deeply explored the cultural connotations of local Miao embroidery, combined with market demand and popular trends, cleverly integrated Miao embroidery art into the development and design of daily necessities such as canvas bags, scarves, bracelets, brooches, stationery, etc., which has been favored by the market. The ancient Miao embroidery has given rise to new vitality in contemporary times, and many Miao embroidery women have jobs, money to earn, and apprentices to inherit at their doorstep.
As a unified multi-ethnic country, China has many outstanding traditional cultures with unique national and regional characteristics, such as Miao embroidery. Many of them are also national and provincial intangible cultural heritage, such as Paper Cuttings, wood carving, clay sculpture, straw weaving, porcelain painting, etc. They are all precious treasures left by the Chinese nation through vicissitudes of life. We have a responsibility to protect, inherit, and develop well, and developing the cultural industry is an important lever. For example, some places create new consumption scenes of "intangible cultural heritage+cultural tourism" by holding intangible cultural heritage exhibitions, folk experiences and other activities, attracting many tourists to experience the unique charm of traditional culture; More and more Chinese brands have implanted traditional crafts and intangible cultural heritage elements in product design, and the China-Chic products launched by them are loved and sought after by many young people. We need to support the development of industries with distinct ethnic traditional cultural characteristics in various regions based on their actual conditions, including financial support, base construction, talent cultivation, innovative research, brand building, and sales expansion. We should actively promote the "going out of the market" of ethnic traditional cultural products, and further promote the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture.
