（简）背带的刺绣构图紧密，排列对称，做工十分精细。此背带运用了马尾绣。水族人称马尾绣为「歹结」，取马的尾巴并缠上白色丝线，做成特殊绣线。勾勒出刺绣图案的轮廓后，再在其图案里采用平绣、辫绣、挑花、跳针、乱针等刺绣技法进行图案的填充和美化。每件背带的制作都相当耗时耗工，蝴蝶与石榴图案的组合寓意多子多福，福寿连绵，代表着长辈对刚出生的新生命美好的祝福和祈愿。
(ENG) Sui horsetail stitch baby carrying belt: densely packed embroidery in an orderly and symmetrical fashion, showing exceptional workmanship. Horsetail stitch is used. Known by the Sui as the ‘evil knot’, horsehair from a horse’s tail is entangled with white threads to create a special embroidery thread. This thread is used to outline the embroidery pattern, and then the centre is filled and decorated with beautiful patterns using other embroidery techniques such as flat stitch, couched braid stitch, crossing stitch, slip stitch and disorder stitch. The creation of each baby carrying belt is extremely time consuming and laborious. Each belt symbolises fecundity, auspiciousness and longevity. The butterfly and pomegranate patterns symbolise fecundity, auspiciousness and longevity and is an expression of the hopes and wishes of the older generation for the next generation.
