Dragon boots, eagerly and funerless...

These are only seen in historical films.

Inheritance of ancestral needle work

For more than half a century, the technology of embroidered shoes has gradually dropped out of people's sight.

"I am a matriarchal red art."

Wang Guanqin said, in her body, inherited the grandmother's fine, mother's intelligence.

Unlike traditional embroidered shoes, Wang Guanqin pays more attention to meticulous craft and noble and elegant style.

A shoe sole is made up of about 34 layers of cloth. The embroidered figure of the vamp breaks through the usual plane embroidery, but combines the plane with the stereo, and it is all embroidered with satin. The chicken has upright chicken head and the snake has a lifelike moving body.

Refining inspiration in Poetry

Before retirement, Wang Guanqin was the first model of Beijing's senior model team, but he always remembered the love of embroidered shoes.

Having made hundreds of pairs, Wang Guanqin suddenly wanted to know if there were any historical origins in his shoes.

After several months in the library, no special records of embroidered shoes were found in all available historical materials.

From that moment on, Wang Guanqin decided to use embroidered shoes as a kind of Chinese native culture.

Classical novels, Tang poems and Han Fu, all the references to shoes in these literary works have become the source of Wang Guanqin's conception.

Li Bai's "jade stage resentment" "Yu Jie Sheng Bai Lu", night long invasion of Luo socks.

Embroidered shoes have been recognized.

Over the past decade, Wang Guanqin's embroidered shoes have been invited to attend the Beijing International Footwear Fair and show her to France. Her "court aristocratic" embroidered shoes are gradually recognized by everyone.

In the commemorative stamp album of the intangible cultural heritage protection center of the city, Wang Guanqin, as the representative successor of this skill, was included with Mei Baojiu and other senior seniors.

It is Wang Guanqin's understanding of this craft that he knows painting, history, understanding and creativity.

Now, she is applying for the protection of national intangible cultural heritage. "I hope this culture can be passed down forever."
