The morning sunshine shines through the window sill and enters the employment and poverty alleviation workshop in Hongchiba Town, Wuxi County, Chongqing. Tang Lijuan, the representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage "Wuxi Wedding Flower", stood at a wooden table, demonstrating and explaining to several "embroidery ladies" with her needle and thread: "Embroidery 'Bayu Mountain Tea' should go from the edge to the center, and the stitches should be layered layer by layer like terraced fields." As she spoke, "the needle and thread flew", and the outline of petals gradually appeared on the plain white cloth. The tradition of marrying flowers in Wuxi is said to have originated from the ancient customs of Ba Yu marriage in the Wu Xian Kingdom, where girls learned embroidery to prepare for their own marriage. Girls have been learning from their mothers or grandmothers since childhood, starting with the simple "one character needle", then the more complex "seed embroidery", followed by the auspicious "step by step lotus" and the blessing "mandarin duck playing in the water". Before the daughter gets married, the mother will accompany her to make the wedding flowers, every stitch and thread filled with longing for life. There are more than 10 types of embroidery techniques for Wuxi wedding flowers, including flat embroidery, cross stitch, lock stitch, and seed embroidery. Among them, the most distinctive one is cross stitch. When embroidering, without drawing the base draft, only relying on the mnemonic 'count the yarn and thread' of 'pick two every three, leave one every five', can embroider neat and symmetrical patterns. ”Tang Lijuan said. Influenced by her mother, Tang Lijuan has enjoyed making embroidery since childhood. However, as she grew up, she discovered that the Wuxi wedding flower, which claimed to be "as beautiful as ever after a hundred years," was "fading": young people preferred finished products, and old embroidery pieces were always treated as "waste". In order to change this situation, Tang Lijuan began her "embroidery journey" of visiting villages and households. Over the course of more than 20 years, she collected over 400 ancient embroidery pieces and compiled over 100000 words of needlework mnemonics and folk stories. The Wuxi wedding flower embodies the longing of generations of Wuxi people for a better life, and my mission is to continue to pass on this' mindset '. ”Tang Lijuan said. Nowadays, in Wuxi, there are more and more people like Tang Lijuan who are dedicated to inheriting the art of marrying flowers. Li Xiaoqiu is also a representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage "Wuxi Wedding Flower". In recent years, she has actively participated in various exhibitions such as the Shanghai World Expo, bringing wedding flowers abroad while also teaching wedding flower skills on campus and in the community. Intangible cultural heritage cannot be only placed in museums, nor can it be 'passed down' among a few inheritors, "said Li Xiaoqiu." Every thread of the wedding flower is a memory, and every stitch has a temperature. I hope it can become an aesthetic of life that can be touched, used, and shared
