"This Tibetan embroidery work" King Gesar "will be completed this year." Lamao Ye Zhong, a 39 year old provincial inheritor of intangible cultural heritage in Qinghai, said expectantly, touching the lifelike Tibetan embroidery scroll.
Lamao Yezhong was born in Demang Village, Shagou Township, Guinan County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. He learned embroidery under the influence of his family when he was young. In 2015, Lamao Yezhong's father founded the Guinan Renqinghai-tibet Culture and Art Development Co., Ltd., which is committed to the protection and inheritance of Tibetan embroidery.
At present, Lamao Yezhong is the technical director of Renqinghai-tibet Culture and Art Development Co., Ltd. in Guinan County. She called on local women to join the Tibetan embroidery production team, taught Tibetan embroidery production skills, and cultivated dozens of skilled apprentices.
Under the leadership of Lamao Ye Zhong, the embroiderers produced a batch of fine Tibetan embroideries. "Building Tibetan embroidery boutiques requires reasonable planning and preparation, exquisite Tibetan embroidery production skills and good team cooperation." Lamao Ye Zhong introduced that in early 2017, she led the team to prepare the Gesar Tibetan embroidery scroll project, hired six Gesar experts and scholars in China, led painters to draw more than 200 samples, and convened more than 50 embroidery mothers to participate in the embroidery.
Driven by Lamao Ye Zhong, many villagers increased their income by making Tibetan embroidery products. "Since I worked with Lamao Yezhong to do Tibetan embroidery five years ago, I have an annual income of 40000 to 50000 yuan. Now, my family has built a new house, and the days are getting better and better," said Wen Changji, a villager in Demang Village, Guinan County.
Lamao Ye Zhong said that in recent years, she has opened her mind and vision by participating in various kinds of learning. "I will seize every opportunity to learn, constantly improve Tibetan embroidery skills, and pass on the unique culture of Tibetan embroidery," said Lamao Ye Zhong.
