Inheritance significance of ponytail embroidery of Shui nationality

Horsetail embroidery is the oldest and most vital primitive art in the Shui nationality area. Known as the living fossil of embroidery, it is a valuable artistic material for studying the folk customs, folk customs, totem worship and national culture of the Shui people.

Although there are still many people making ponytail embroidery, there are not many people wearing it. Horsetail embroidered clothes are mostly worn on festivals, especially on Shui people's festivals. The most important thing is that people's ideas have changed. The girls put the clothes at the bottom of the box and put them on Hanfu. In the past, ponytail embroidery was regarded as a symbol of a girl's ingenuity and the wealth of this family.

There is a serious fault in the inheritance of ponytail embroidery technology, and the quality of modern ponytail embroidery products is declining, so people are rarely willing to use it. As a special craft category, ponytail embroidery of Shui nationality should be rescued and protected.

The state attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage. On May 20th, 2006, this heritage was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
