By sally on 2016-05-30

Zhang Yan, an apprentice of Gu Yuchun, embroiders with thread on Chinese Xuan paper in Nanchang City, the capital of East China’s Jiangxi Province. Xuan paper, a high quality rice paper, is especially good for traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy. Embroidery is an art of decorating textiles with needle and thread. It requires skilled craftsmen to embroider on Xuan paper which is delicate and breaks easily. The ninth generation in a family to combine Xuan paper and embroidery, Gu Yuchun has made innovations in the unique craftwork which has been inscribed as an intangible cultural heritage in Jiangxi.
