招远网扣绣花

Zhaoyuan Tuscany Embroidery

网扣绣花,起源于近代烟台,是中国传统的民间织绣工艺与欧洲刺绣编结工艺相结合的产物。1858年6月,中英《天津条约》签订,烟台成为山东省第一个对外开埠的口岸,各国纷纷在烟台设立领事馆。1890年,马茂兰和夫人利蕾从上海搭乘轮船到达烟台传教,马茂兰夫妇发现烟台妇女个个心灵手巧,会绣花,会剪纸,鱼网也织得非常漂亮。于是他们就产生了利用传教把这些妇女组织起来,向她们传授一门谋生手艺的想法。

Originated from modern Yantai,tuscany embroidery combined popular traditional Chinese tapestry and embroidery with European embroidery and knitting.In the summer of 1893,Rev.Hays(Presbyterian Church in the United States of America) and his wife held the first class and recruited 17 Yantai females to specially study the technique of lace knitting.After Mr.and Mrs.Hays returned to USA,Mr.Mamullan and his wife took over all their facilities,patterns and orders.To expand their business,in 1894 Manullan established Rondel Benevolence) Firm and Peizhen(Cultivation of Truth) Female School,which initiated the history of Yantai lace technique as long as a century.After the foundation of New China.Tuscany embroidery thrived in Zhaoyuan and its variety and technique became increasingly perfect.The improvement of tuscany embroidery had far-reaching impact on the inheritance and development of the Chinese tradition and the renewal of this technique.Recently Yantai announced the fifth representative list of the municipal intangible cultural heritage,in which Zhaoyuan Tuscany Embroidery Traditional Technique organized and submitted by Yantai Qingyun Home Textile Co.Ltd.was included.
