It is understood that among the 9 types of intangible cultural heritage on display this time, 5 are national-level intangible cultural heritage. In addition, two folk arts, Wenqin and iron-pen calligraphy, are also displayed here.
The reporter came to the first booth. Jiang Zaihong, a national arts and crafts master, was flying needles and threads in front of the embroidery frame. "The Roaring Lion" and "Lotus Flowers in the Morning Mist" are among the best in the national embroidery industry. For this exhibition, Master Jiang specially brought Expo-themed Hunan embroidery products. The innovative use of chemical fiber cloth as the bottom surface makes embroidery more difficult, but it can play the role of moisture-proof, waterproof and anti-corrosion. It has a longer storage life and looks more beautiful. It is modern and can meet the aesthetic needs of different tourists.
Daily products such as cushions, wallets, cheongsams, cloth shoes, and murals made of Dong brocade and blue calico are very popular among tourists. Although the blue calico here does not come from western Hunan, it comes from Shaoyang, the birthplace of Liu Dapao blue calico in western Hunan. The raw materials for making blue calico - plant ash, plantain, chrysanthemum leaves, toon root, soy milk and lime, have aroused strong interest among tourists.
Many ladies who love beauty have taken a fancy to the blue calico cheongsam on display.
