Embroidery (刺绣) is an important art form in Chinese culture. The most famous embroidery styles are Su embroidery from Suzhou, Shu embroidery from Sichuan, Xiang embroidery from Hunan and Yue embroidery from Guangdong.

Shu embroidery Shuxiu in Chinese is the oldest of the four. It dates back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). It’s known for its smooth needlework(针线活). The characteristics are greatly influenced by geographical environment customs and cultures. People here enjoy a slow lifestyle. When embroidering, they are usually patient to make it slowly.

Making beautiful Shuxiu products is never easy. Meng Dezhi 60 was born in a family of embroiderers. She was one of the most talented workers at the Chengdu Shuxiu factory. Even so the work challenges her, too. But her love for this artwork makes her continue. It often takes her several days or even a few months to finish a piece of Shuxiu.

In 2006, Shuxiu was added to China’s intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list because it was in danger of dying out. To protect this traditional skill. Meng set up her own company. At the same time, she taught Shuxiu skills to the kids and young people. She often spent her time teaching in different universities and communities. “In the early days, I set up the company just for living, but now I really feel that I have the responsibility to pass on the skills to young people. It is like growing a seed—who knows which of them will become an inheritor (继承人) of our culture in the future?”
