Miao Hand Embroidery: An Intangible Cultural Heritage
Miao embroidery art is a womanly tradition including 14+ techniques developed in 5,000 years and worldly sought after by Museum and private collectors for its cultural value and increasingly rare beauty. Using it as a language to record their ancestral history, Miao women learn how to embroider since the age of 6. The abstract design is highly symbolic, representing life, nature, and wishes for good luck.
In 2006 the Chinese Government aligned with UNESCO enlisted Miao textiles and silver carved art in the national Intangible Cultural Heritage for its contribution to cultural diversity and human creativity.
