The Inheritance Significance of Miao Xiu

With the constant change of people's aesthetic concepts and tastes, the market of national costumes is getting smaller and smaller, and among Miao young people, fewer and fewer people wear their own national costumes. In this case, the number of artists in Miao Xiu is decreasing day by day. It can be said that the more developed modern culture is, the faster Miao Xiu's traditional skills will disappear. Facing the crisis of Miao Xiu's skills, we should take measures to solve it as soon as possible to ensure the smooth inheritance of this ancient national craft.

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. Its exquisite embroidery skills and dazzling silver ornaments are amazing, and it has been recognized as the most exquisite embroidery works of art by the world. This national cultural heritage can only be passed down by the people. Obviously, it is only in a state of natural self-destruction, and it is in great danger of being lost. According to media reports, in one hundred years, China people will study the dress culture of Miao people, perhaps in French museums.

Only by making Miao Xiu an industry can it live up to its name and promote local economic development. It's great to get income again on the basis of attracting attention! The problem is that only a few local people produce Miao Xiu in family workshops. Under manual operation, the output is extremely limited and the sales channels are extremely limited. By local tourist shops and online sales, sales are extremely limited. According to the market survey of people in related industries, the value of Miao Xiu can reach sky-high prices for people who know the goods, especially foreign guests are willing to buy collections. This situation can only show that we have not established effective production and marketing channels. What is worrying is that if foreigners learn Miao costumes and Miao Xiu's skills and mass produce them in factories, it will bring great impact to the production of handmade Miao costumes.

Commercial utilization

We should pay attention to several aspects when making commercial use of this cultural heritage. First, we should apply for patent protection for Miao Xiu's special skills and paintings as soon as possible to ensure that his intellectual property rights and national artistic resources are not infringed; Second, train more artists in Miao Xiu, and explore the possibility of improving the speed of their craft production on the basis of maintaining their all-hand production tradition, so as to produce more quantities and styles; Thirdly, in the promotion of embroidery, local national cultural elements are given more widely, making its mysterious aesthetic concepts and interests more known; Fourth, establish more sales channels, including online sales. In this regard, the vision of Miao compatriots and their related workshops is limited, and local governments should do something in this regard so as not to be in the dilemma of "begging with golden rice bowls in their hands".
