从工到艺的跨越者——记中国刺绣艺术大师金家虹

Jin Jiahong,Master of Chinese Embroidery Art

"一方绣架,撑开江南千年丝绸;十指春风,绣出湖上几分春意。"杭州刺绣历史悠久,与京绣、鲁绣、汴绣、瓯绣、闽绣等地方名绣一样,在中国刺绣史上颇有名气。自古以来,心灵手巧的西子姑娘坐在闺阁中,一针一线绣出素年锦时。但是,随着工业文明产物——机器绣花的到来,"杭绣"开始乏人问津。庆幸的是,有一批像金家虹一样的杭绣传承人在前辈的引领下专注从事杭绣。她的绣品丰富,具有生动的艺术表现力和温婉的文化底蕴,令杭绣艺术光彩重现。

Hangzhou Embroidery(Hang Xiu),as famous as Beijing Embroidery(Jing Xiu),Shandong Embroidery(Lu Xiu),Henan Embroidery(Bian Xiu),Wenzhou Embroidery(Ou Xiu) and Fujian Embroidery(Min Xiu),is a time-honored craft which enjoys a high reputation in Chinese embroidery history.In the old days,ingenious Hangzhou girls,stitching in their bedrooms,lived a simple but beautiful life.However,with the appearance of machine embroidery-the result of industrial civilization,Hangzhou Embroidery becomes unpopular.Fortunately,a group of inheritors like Jin Jiahong have dedicated themselves to Hangzhou Embroidery under the guide of their predecessors.Bearing vivid artistic expression as well as profound cultural tradition,their works revive the splendor of Hangzhou Embroidery.
