In Tongren City, Guizhou Province, there is a special embroidery called leaf-vein embroidery (叶脉绣). This beautiful art is one of the main types of embroidery in China.
Leaf-vein embroidery has a history from the Song Dynasty (960—1279). It was first used for communication among people in different areas.
Making leaf-vein embroidery is not easy. It takes a lot of steps. First, choosing the right leaves is important. The leaves from local trees with harder veins serve as the best materials. Second, put leaves in clean water for two days to make them soft. Third, brush the leaves gently. Then, it takes three to five days to make them fully dry. Finally, you can create the patterns on the leaves.
Yang Li, a master of leaf-vein embroidery, notes that only about 20 people in Tongren have been able to finish the whole steps by themselves in the last ten years, so it's challenging to keep this traditional skill alive.
"I have introduced this art in colleges, communities and villages, but very few people wanted to learn it because it was very difficult," Yang said.
In 2011, she started a leaf-vein embroidery workshop, creating jobs for more than 500 women, including women from villages with disabilities. "In my lifetime, it's my duty to improve and pass on leaf-vein embroidery," she said. After that, she also used social media to show these traditional skills and got many fans.
"Leaf-vein embroidery is a treasure. I decide to save and inherit this skill and hope more young people will return to their hometown to learn it," Yang said.
