The widely applied embroidery technology

Embroidery patternsBesides styles, the clothing and decorations of the Tu nationality also have another great character: the embroidery technology is widely applied. Not only the collar, cuff, belt, instep, vamp of boots and other parts of women's clothing, but also the collar, cloth front, belt, cigarette bag and other parts of young men's clothing have many decorative patterns.

Needle stickingThe embroidery methods of the Tu nationality are mainly divided into circling embroidery and flat embroidery. The technology is exquisite and careful and the color is bright. The traditional patterns were not only of their own nationality, but also absorbed and learned from those of the Han nationality, such as "five-petal plum", "zhuan kui zi", "Taiji picture", "peacock playing with peony", "lion rolling silk ball", "cold magpie watching plum" and "pomegranate flower", and so on.

Besides in clothing and decorations, the embroidery technology of the Tu nationality is also used in the making of various kinds of Buddha, religious streamer, pillar carpet and tapestry, etc in the temple. It systematically harmonizes the traditional national folk handicraft with the Tibetan Buddhism art.
