Chapter 41: Su Embroidery (2)
Under the guidance of the fragrant leaves, the blue eucalyptus also tried to split a thread, but the thickness was a little uneven, which was inevitably very discouraged.
Xiangye patiently taught her by hand, "Splitting silk is not something that can be practiced overnight, you better learn it slowly." ”
Lan Yu said "um......", feeling a little sore, so he stood up and looked at the Su embroidery hanging on the four walls of the room.
"Yike...... This goldfish is just like the real thing, and even the tail of the fish is so delicate...... And this cat, the coat color is so uniform that it looks like it is about to jump off the embroidery cloth......" Lan Eucalyptus looked at the embroidery on the wall and couldn't help but praise.
Hearing this, Xiangye smiled and touched the blue eucalyptus's head, "Don't make a fuss...... Suzhou embroidery is originally famous for its fine stitches, elegant colors and fine embroidery, with the characteristics of flat, light, qi, even, harmonious, fine and dense. The thickness and fit of the flower thread can fully express the texture of the object image.
"For example, Suzhou embroidered goldfish tail, the thread should be thin, and the needle row should be empty, so as to express the lightness and transparency. The embroidered fish body line should be slightly thicker, and the needle row should be dense in order to express the sense of thickness. Another example is embroidered stones, old tree stems, etc., the thread is thick, and the needle row does not have to be too uniform. Another example is the embroidered cat, according to the law of the change of the object's hair, grasp the silk, and the embroidered cat furry terrain is vivid and vivid.
"Suzhou embroidery craft is good at summing up experience and finding a unique way, following the hair embroidery, double-sided embroidery, and have successfully created double-sided heterochromatic embroidery, double-sided heterochromatic embroidery and other new works. In recent years, double-sided embroidery has similarities and differences on both sides. Such as the eyes of a cat, the color of the two sides is different, very fascinating, its embroidery skills are superb, is the boutique in embroidery.
As far as the art embroidery of pure appreciation is concerned, it is made of needles and threads. The characteristics of techniques and needlework are the four words of "no trace of harmony, uniform ironing, clear threads, and light and loose hair". ”
Lan Eucalyptus couldn't help clapping her hands, "No wonder people say that Su embroidery can produce fragrance, embroidered birds can smell, embroidered tigers can run, embroidered people can convey spirits." ’”
Xiangye laughed with a "poof", "Little fool, what you said is to describe Hunan embroidery." Hunan embroidery is mostly realistic, bright colors, with Chinese painting as the base, lined with the corresponding clouds and landscapes, pavilions, birds and animals, the style is bold. It is characterized by embroidering tigers, lions, etc., and the animal hair silk embroidered with a unique stitch method is powerful. From the point of view of techniques and styles, Suzhou embroidery and Hunan embroidery have their own merits! ”
Lan Eucalyptus was a little embarrassed, "It seems that I know too little, it's not good to split silk, embroidery can't embroider, and even the allusions are wrong......"
Xiangye didn't really care, "What's wrong with this, don't be sad...... Come, I'll take you to the silkworm room, and when you get there, you'll find it much more interesting! ”
Lan Eucalyptus followed her aunt to the silkworm room, and tens of thousands of silkworm babies devoured mulberry leaves together, making a "swish" rain-like sound. The matchstick-sized silkworms in the bamboo plaque are densely packed, constantly devouring the shredded mulberry leaves.
Xiangye told Eucalyptus blue: Raising silkworms is not only hard work, but also delicate work. The first and second instar silkworm babies are the most sensitive to temperature, and controlling the temperature of the silkworm room is the key, and the silkworm babies enter the third and fourth years, and the ventilation of the silkworm room has become the focus. The disinfection of silkworm babies should be taken seriously from the beginning, and the delicate silkworm babies have very high requirements for the cleanliness of the environment and mulberry leaves.
Most of the silkworm room is the Mid-Autumn Festival silkworm, and after 24 hours of sleep, it will collectively enter the old silkworm period, and the silkworm babies eat mulberry leaves, which means that in another week or so, the silkworm babies will be ushered in the mountain.
