Arts Studies and Criticism

The author explores the inheritance and innovation of China's intangible cultural heritage "Yi Embroidery" based on the conclusion drawn from dozens of Yi Embroidery-related training, the development of nearly one hundred Yi Embroidery products, and in-depth field investigation of the Yi ethnic areas in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province in the past four years. During the research process, the author witnessed Liangshan Prefecture from poverty alleviation to rural revitalization and deeply explored the techniques of Yi Embroidery, such as Panxian embroidery, Tiebu embroidery, and Guobu embroidery. Furthermore, multidimensional interaction with the government, industries, enterprises, and universities drives product upgrading and cultivates potential students through training while promoting rural economic revitalization. Finally, it laid the foundation of the Yi Embroidery inheritance mode: "Inheritance - knowing where Yi embroidery comes from" and "Innovation - knowing where Yi Embroidery goes." It enables tradition to have a foothold in the modern social economy and glow with vitality and splendor.
