Drawnwork

It is a kind of embroidery, also known as "lace".

It is said that drawnwork originated in Italy, France and Portugal and developed on the basis of folk embroidery in the middle ages.

During the Qing Guangxu period, the embroidery workers in Chaozhou combined the skills of pumping and Chaozhou embroidery, combining Chinese and Western skills, and their skills integrated into one, and called Chaozhou drawnwork.

In the long years since then, Chaozhou drawnwork has gradually developed into a skill commonly available to young and middle-aged women in Chaozhou and Shantou, and is also an important household sideline income for thousands of households in urban and rural areas.

Chaozhou

In the past 20 years, Chaozhou drawnwork has been exported to nearly 100 countries and regions.

But with

skill

Chaozhou's knitting is no longer brilliant.

Reporters learned that, at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, a drawnwork enterprise in Chaozhou had missed millions of orders from foreign enterprises because of its failure to undertake. Finally, only the drawnwork products in stock could be selected for merchants to choose.

According to manufacturers, with the rapid development of science and technology, machine embroidery, computer embroidery and other new products are rising rapidly, not only fashionable, but also have great advantages in product prices.

Drawnwork is a labor-intensive industry. With the lack of staff and the further improvement of labor prices, traditional drawnwork products have to retreat in the market.

The large-scale professional production of local drawnwork in Chaozhou has been shrinking since the beginning of 1990s.

Now, the Chaozhou drawnwork company can only produce some simple drawnwork clothing besides selling the stock drawnwork products, but the sales volume is mediocre.

"Now, it is very difficult to find a female worker who can make Chaozhou drawnwork."

The Tun master, Xie Yi, told reporters.

Today, there are more than 60 drawnwork women workers in Chaozhou drawnwork company.

Xie Yi, who is nearly 60 of the year, is a master of embroidery and embroidery. But because of her lifelong embroidery career, her eyesight has been seriously reduced, and she can no longer engage in embroidery.

The embroidery workers who have higher years' skills and skills are fading out of drawnwork skills year by year, and the complicated and time-consuming skills have made the young generation shrink back.

Such a situation is perplexing the inheritance of Chaozhou drawnwork skills.

In an old record room in the Chaozhou drawnwork company, there are rows of old and dusty Chaozhou drawnwork drawing files.

The archives have condensed the painstaking efforts of the old generation of drawnwork workers. Now there are 7350 boxes of manuscript paper and 11 thousand sheets of cellophane paper in the record room, which completely retain the brilliance of Chaozhou drawnwork.

The issue of the inheritance of Chaozhou drawnwork has attracted the attention of all parties. In April 27, 2008, Chaozhou drawnwork was listed as the third batch of intangible cultural heritage list in Chaozhou. In 2009, Chaozhou drawnwork was officially included in the third batch of intangible cultural heritage list by Guangdong province.

The Chaozhou municipal government is also preparing the "Chaozhou drawnwork skills" textbook, and plans to offer professional courses in Chaozhou drawnwork skills in technical vocational schools.

It is gratifying to note that at present, some people try to use the drawnwork technology to adorn the collar and sleeves on the woven garments, so that the modern weaving and traditional drawnwork technology can be perfectly integrated. For example, the wedding dress industry in Chaozhou, which is developed on the basis of traditional Chaozhou drawnwork, is now gradually leading the new trend of "wedding culture" in Europe and America.
