Hunan embroidery is one of the four famous embroidery styles in China, and it is a general term for Hunan embroidery products with distinctive Xiangchu culture.
Embroiderers use needles instead of pens and threads as colors, incorporating Chinese traditional painting arts into Hunan embroidery. Through a needle and a thread, various arts such as figures, landscapes, scenery, flowers and birds are integrated and recreated, making the embroidered products more vivid.

Technique of making inscribed plaques
The technique of making inscribed plaques is also known as Chinese mud calligraphy. Characters are stacked on a wooden board. With materials such as raw lacquer, tung oil, clay powder and swim bladder glue, the liquid is made into a shape which is then poured onto the wooden board to form a stack.
A mud-golden plaque goes through a complicated process of making. When it is hung in the hall, it will shine brightly. It can remain free from decay and retain its luster for centuries.
Liu Shangsi, a municipal-level representative inheritor, will show visitors the technique.
Next weekend (April 8 to April 9), three ICH items of Xinkang wood carving, Changsha seal cutting and Gushan inkstone carving will also be on display at Changsha Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall.
