As the saying goes, men plow and women weave. But in Horqin, it means "men hunt and women do needlework". Horqin embroidery is a unique embroidery skill of women in Horqin, and it is a unique craft that is displayed to people with ten fingers dexterity. It takes Horqin's traditional handicrafts and traditional costume art as its content, and it is amazing, appreciated and passed down to this day with its unique color, modeling and beautiful style. Today, Horqin people regard this ancient embroidery craft handed down from their ancestors as a treasure and attach great importance to inheritance. It was recognized as an intangible heritage project in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and it was preserved, sorted out and carried forward.

In the traditional wedding custom in Horqin, when the matchmaker comes to the home of a woman of school age, he will euphemistically state his purpose on the grounds that "my family has reindeer and tiger catchers, and you are a clever girl who sews boots and embroidered robes". On the other hand, it is also exploring the origin and thickness between women and needlework. Women in Horqin pay special attention to the workmanship and fineness of needlework, and will undertake all the needlework repair work in their own homes. Let your girls learn to sew, wrap thread, sew, play with Qiu Xi, doll clothes and so on. At an early age, I knew needlework, sewing and embroidery from an early age. When the girl was one year old, she threw all kinds of food, toys and small utensils on the kang. If the girl picks up the thimble first, her mother will happily say, "My daughter will be a smart person in the future!" " And dragging the child's palm, patting and chanting: "Smart, smart ..."

I was born to sew embroidered skirt lace patterns. When I was six or seven years old, my mother taught me about needlework and instructed me to do it. At that time, there were sewing machines in Mongolia, and most of the traditional manual labor such as making clothes, tying uppers and wearing shoes was replaced by advanced sewing machines, which relieved the labor pressure of many women. With the extensive use of advanced machines and new costumes in the people's lives in Horqin, fewer and fewer people do hand-embroidered national costumes. However, the embroidery in Horqin is not far from the people in Horqin. They put on embroidered boots, embroidered tobacco bags, embroidered Mongolian robes and vests at wedding banquets, parties and Nadam, and dressed themselves with these traditional costumes. In addition, on the day of returning home, the bride will dress the groom with a cigarette bag embroidered with auspicious meanings such as long knots, double butterflies and flowers, in order to look forward to a happy life and a happy marriage in the future. This is the profound meaning of embroidery. Horqin folk song "six-foot streamer cigarette pocket!" It was embroidered in the heat of June! ""embroidered with blooming begonia lotus! Can make geese sing loudly and sew their pockets! This is a pocket full of blessings and love! Wear it for my dear friend ... "It's sung that a girl must sew and embroider a cigarette bag for the groom after her engagement, which is the inheritance of her ancestors.

The beauty of Horqin embroidery is not the superficial prosperity, but the enchanting that goes deep into the bone marrow. It is wonderful to pierce with a needle and thread. Every thread is a trace of affection, only delivered to the man you love. This kind of affection is conveyed through embroidery, which is the deepest and most subtle. A woman who can embroider is like a fairy in the clouds. Thousands of emotions turn into wisps of fragrance at her fingertips, but silence is worth a thousand words. If you know her, you will know her heart under the silver needle. ...
