Summary:
Once upon a time, in the riverside town, Luojing, a prophecy was made that a gem-like embroiderer would be born in the town. 300 years later, our protagonist was born – a maiden swift with a needle. After word of her spread, the Four Great Scholars came to visit, each leaving her with a poetic riddle, enlightening her embroidery craft. Her family and townspeople also help her in her ideas, and the maiden learns all kinds of motifs: domestic flowers, animals etc. The maiden becomes an icon, and her embroidery soon inspires the village and spreads as a cultural heritage across generations.
Gudong has cleverly integrated traditional Chinese nursery rhymes for the text, and her contemporary art style combined with meticulous attention to the depictions of embroidery make this an excellent insight for this delicate craft.
