Description
（简）背心中心的橙黄色刺绣有恍如光芒万丈的视觉冲击，十分夺目抢眼。此背心运用了刺花 、平绣和数纱绣。刺绣部分正面有勾云纹、云纹、太阳纹；另一种纹样待考证，有推测为一种虫纹、螺丝纹或者是龙纹。衣服的反面有5只鸟簇拥着太阳，鸟儿的内部用了平绣刺出各种大小不一的三角形，所有动物造型和纹饰的外部皆布满了如光芒般的刺花。在长达近40年的收藏生涯中，这种服饰只见过这么一件。他们为什么会用这样的刺绣去表现？这样的图案诞生于何时？是个人创做还是图案技法的传承与消亡？图案又代表着什么含义？这件服饰折射出太多的疑问留给我们。
(ENG) Dong vest: visually stunning and almost blinding central radiant orange- yellow embroidery. Satin stitch, flat stitch and counted thread stitch are used. The front embroidery features Chinese cloud and sun patterns as well as an as yet unverified pattern. Some speculate it might be an insect pattern, while others speculate it to be a swirl or even a dragon pattern. On the back, the sun is surrounded by five birds. The inner part of the birds are embroidered with different triangular patterns using flat stitch. All the outliers of the animals and patterns are covered with embroidery resembling rays of light, creating a stunning visual effect. Over the last 40 years, we have only seen one similar piece of clothing. Why do creators choose to use this kind of embroidery to express their thoughts, and when were such embroidery patterns created? What does the embroidery symbolize? With its unique pattern and technique, is this piece unique or [does it represent a greater inheritance and death]? There are still so many questions yet to be answered.
