Su Embroidery's "Ming's Four" paintings make a stunning appearance
The "Four Schools of the Ming Dynasty", also known as the Four Schools of Wu Men, refers to Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming, Qiu Ying, and Shen Thu who were famous painters in the Ming Dynasty. After careful research and in-depth understanding of their classic paintings "Xishan Yuyan", "Yichuan Map", "East Forest Map", and "Autumn Scenery Landscape", the Jiangnan Weaving House Research Institute used the method of Su embroidery to create again. The combination of stitches and colors makes the original work more three-dimensional and lifelike. The four works show the exquisite characteristics and cultural charm of Su embroidery, and compose the new future of Su embroidery art.
In addition, the series of "Jun to Gusu See" produced by the Jiangnan Weaving Institute Research Institute with the theme of "Shanging the River on Qingming Festival" and many other Su embroidery crafts and decorations also appeared in the exhibition for the first time, incorporating traditional Su embroidery craftsmanship. The life of modern people makes tradition radiate fashion and vitality.
In November of this year, the Su embroidery work "Ruilian Tu", also produced by the Jiangnan Weaving House Research Institute, was collected by Rui Dalio, the founder of the world's largest hedge fund-Bridgewater Fund. At the upcoming 2020 Dubai World Expo, Su Embroidery "Along the River at Qingming Festival" will be unveiled in the China Pavilion as a treasure of Chinese traditional culture.
Secret Longquan Official Kiln National Ceremony
At the opening ceremony, the Hangzhou G20 Summit National Ceremony Series Elephant Ear Bottle, Guan Ear Bottle, Qianfeng Green Bottle, and the National Ceremony Bottle, Beauty Bottle and Long-Necked Ear Bottle of the Belt and Road Summit made their debut in Suzhou at the opening ceremony.
Lai Jianping, the eighth-generation successor of Lai celadon and the head of the Longquan official kiln, introduced that as early as the Southern Song Dynasty, the celadon produced in the Longquan official kiln was known as the "Pearl of the Sea of Porcelain" for its ice-like jade and verdant glaze. After modern innovation and creation, the porcelain produced by the Longquan official kiln has been selected as the national ritual and the head of state ritual many times, and many works have also been collected by the National Museum.
Royal King Gourd Tea
On the day of the event, Li Xingchang, the eighth-generation inheritor of Yunnan Pu'er tea and tribute tea making skills, personally produced and restored the entire royal dragon group. The total weight of the dragon group is 9 catties, 5 taels and 5 dollars, which means "the ninth five-year-old."
"Royal Dragon Tuan" is the golden melon tribute tea, which is a special pressed tea form unique to Pu'er tea. Because of its shape like a pumpkin, the tea buds are golden in color after being aged for many years, so it is named "Golden melon". In the early years, Jingua Tea was a special tea specially made for the Shanggong court, so it was named "Jingua Triumph Tea".
