Traditional families still attach great importance to the respect of elders, especially in front of outsiders, if children do not know etiquette, there are indeed some problems of lax family education. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Shen Huixin, you don't know how to count etiquette. Seeing his granddaughter lose his temper like this, Shen Lao felt very embarrassed, and shouted angrily.
"Slightly~ Who made you pedantic! I'm just looking for someone to try, do you have to get married if you try!" Shen Huixin snorted.
Shen Laoqi's body trembled.
"What Miss Huixin said is not unreasonable. Mr. Qigong smiled and patted Shen Lao's shoulder, "I can understand her mood, every stitch and thread of this dress is her hard work, and such a complex project is definitely not completed overnight, looking at your painstaking works can only stay in the box, this feeling is really not good, just like you used to donate things, don't you also think that some things should be taken out to let more people appreciate?"
Shen Lao's expression was a little relaxed, and he looked at his granddaughter who stood still and grimaced at him, and fell into thought.
For any craftsman, the biggest achievement is not to be able to make money with his craft, but to make things that can be appreciated and any by more people, which is the original intention of the craftsman, and this is the ingenuity of a craftsman.
Her granddaughter began to learn to thread needles, twist threads, and weave under the guidance of her grandmother at the age of three, and then learn about embroidery skills little by little.
When she was thirteen years old, Shen Huixin began to draw pictures by herself, followed Shen Lao to visit many painters, and finally completed this work.
She wanted to use all the patterns of embroidery from ancient times to the present, and she named this work 'God Bless the People'.
At that time, after hearing his fourteen-year-old granddaughter say this name, Shen Lao was shocked, this name was too grandiose, and it felt a bit exaggerated.
But when the composition came out, Shen Lao felt that the name was quite appropriate.
This dress is embroidered with a total of one hundred and eight kinds of creatures, with more than 300 kinds of embroidery systems, thirty-six birds correspond to the Taoist thirty-six Tiangang, seventy-two kinds of animals and flowers and plants, corresponding to seventy-two earthly evils, there are dragons and phoenixes are auspicious, and there are also auspicious virtues of all things.
Each of the above patterns has the meaning of Chinese embroidery, such as rich peony, holy white lotus, proud bone bitter bamboo, windward snow plum and so on.
And the gemstone embellishment design behind is the Taoist Tai Chi Yin and Yang Fish pattern, the wide edge of the two large sleeves is the 'swastika' calligraphy seal of Buddhism, and the design of the big Yu itself is the Confucian concept, self-denial, and the idea of virtue.
This dress integrates the three major religions of China, as well as most of the auspicious meanings in the history of embroidery, and finally took shape after 14 years of precipitation and sewing by Shen Huixin.
Shen Huixin has been sewing this thing for 14 years, from the cardamom years to the present, it can be said that it took her half of her life's hard work, such a work, watching it accumulate dust in the wooden box, is indeed a little cruel for the creator.
The most fearful thing for any creator is not life and death, but his own works, which are not recognized by anyone, and most of the self-realization value of life comes from not only himself, but also from the affirmation of others, especially Shen Huixin's age.
It stands to reason that at her age, just twenty-seven years old, she should be at the peak of talent and inspiration, and she has not had a satisfactory work for more than two years.
Shen Lao knew that 'God Bless the People' had overdrawn too much of her talent and hard work, and she was now encountering a bottleneck in her creation.
When Shen Shou pioneered the simulation method, he also experienced this kind of moment, when the mother in Shen Lao's memory changed her temperament overnight, and she gradually returned to her original appearance after knowing that it was completed.
If you study any piece of art, you will not go crazy and will not survive, which is also the helplessness of art creators.
Shen Huixin was born in embroidery and weaving since childhood, her love for embroidery in addition to the talent brought by genes, more is the responsibility given by the family, although Shen Lao has never asked her, but as an independent thought of Su embroidery, she knows what she should do, and she also hopes that she can do it.
Especially now, the craft of embroidery seems to be slowly being replaced by Western computers, which makes their inheritance family even more questioned.
But can things made by machines and by hand be the same?
Whether a thing is valuable or not, in addition to the object itself, is more humanistic feelings, the sweater sewn by the mother will not be warmer than the sweater woven by the machine, but it can give the greatest comfort and encouragement to the wanderer, which the machine can never replace.
Because people have feelings.
However, the development of industrialization has slowly turned this way of transmitting feelings between people through the temperature of the hand into a cold machine, although it seems to be similar, but subtly, the emotions between people will become colder and colder, and finally become exactly the same as the machine.
The development of industry and science and technology is to allow human beings to enjoy the convenience of efficient life more quickly, rather than the efforts of human beings to gradually become efficient and become like a machine.
The principles of textile and embroidery are very simple, ordinary people can learn as long as they learn a little, but most people are unwilling to do it themselves, pursuing the truth that money can buy, such ideas are a huge blow to the development and inheritance of craftsmen.
Money can indeed solve a lot of things, but the more things you solve with money, the more empty you will be, because there seems to be no other fun in your life except money, of course, spending money is also a kind of fun, but in fact, 95% of people will not have this kind of fun of spending money, and this kind of fun, the price is too great.
It is better to choose a craft that you like, and have a fun in your stable life to convey a kind of family affection and touching connection with your family.
This is the inheritance of the humanistic spirit left by the Shen family's Su embroidery, and the so-called 'dowry' is an important token to connect the family, as long as it is still there, this inheritance will not be broken.
As for the craftsmanship, Shen Shou has already written it all into the "Snow Eun Embroidery Spectrum".
This is also the reason why Shen Huixin has not been able to improve for so many years, her most beloved work has become an object that can only accumulate dust in the box, so that her original enthusiasm and passion for embroidery are gradually exhausted.
At one point, she was even starting to get tired of embroidery.
At the same time, she couldn't find a suitable person for this 'God bless the people' for so many years, which was also one of the reasons why she was a little tired.
The death of a confidant, the death of Boya, this is the ideal that every craftsman dreams of, but she has not found it for so many years, and now, she has finally found it, how can she let go of this opportunity?
Shen Lao didn't understand his granddaughter's eccentric melancholy, but on the one hand, there were family rules, and on the other hand, he was facing an important choice, that is, in every era, the choice of change, was it conservative or promoted?
Everyone was waiting for Shen Lao's choice, and even Wang Yao was unconsciously looking forward to it.
"Alas. In the end, Shen Lao sighed lightly, smiled and shook his head, "It's just a piece of clothing, and besides, in the family rules, there is indeed no prohibition to try it on." ”
Everyone was overjoyed at the same time.
"Yay!!" Shen Huixin blinked her eyes wide, let out an exclamation, jumped up and hugged Shen Lao and kissed her, and then held her clothes to Wang Yao's side, "Quick, take off your clothes!"
Looking at the excitement and greed flashing in Shen Huixin's round apricot eyes, Wang Yao swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and took off the big coat outside with some embarrassment.
"This one is also off. Shen Huixin looked at the robe inside him and said.
Wang Yao sensitively protected his chest, "Girl, I don't have anything in it." ”
"How can you wear a caftan inside my dress, it's about to take off. Shen Huixin shouted coquettishly.
Wang Yao was very embarrassed and asked Mr. Qigong for help at a loss.
"The heart of the doctor's parents, the same is true for this clothier, besides, a manly man, what are you afraid of?" Mr. Qi Gong sat on the pear chair and said with a smile.
Wang Yao smiled and nodded with you, unbuttoned the neckline, turned his back and took off the long shirt, revealing a creamy skin and a delicate muscle line, why describe it as exquisite, because the skin is too tender, although the muscle lines are very hard, but there is indeed a feeling of appreciating beautiful jade.
"Boom. Wang Yao heard the sound of Shen Huixin swallowing saliva behind him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Xiuniang's Danfeng eyes also brightened a little, and she looked at Wang Yao's sturdy figure and jade-like skin after taking off her clothes with envy, this man, his skin is too good.
"Come on, come on, put this on first. Shen Huixin came back to her senses, wiped the non-existent saliva at the corner of her mouth, and handed Wang Yao a crimson shirt under the wooden box.
This short shirt is made of Hangzhou silk cotton, which feels very smooth to the touch and has a refreshing feeling.
After Wang Yao put it on, Shen Huixin saw that he was wearing it in the wrong direction, patted him, and helped him get the collar and the right side right, "The Han people want to hide the right side inside, and the left side is exposed outside, this is the etiquette of dressing, because the Han people respect the right, so the Han people wear the right side, if you wear the left side, it means that the funeral period is unlucky, of course, other ethnic groups wear Hanfu are left, because it is easy to distinguish." ”
Wang Yao nodded, looking more and more expectantly at Shen Huixin holding the treasure robe in her arms, and didn't care about the soft little hand touching her body.
Shen Huixin touched it quietly for a while, shook the 'God Bless the People' on her hand with the excitement in her heart, and then put it on for Wang Yao little by little.
