200-year-old Minh Lang embroidery village kept alive in dignified silence

As one of the long-standing traditional craft villages, Minh Lang embroidery village, Thu Tri Commune (Hung Yen) is famous for its sophisticated and unique hand-embroidered products. Through many ups and downs, the people here are still attached to and dedicated to the craft, hoping to preserve and revive the traditional craft with a 200-year history passed down by their ancestors. The most prominent feature of Minh Lang embroidery is the sophisticated "color blending" technique, allowing for a soft color transition like a painting, creating a characteristic depth and smoothness. The embroidery stitches here are small and even, and the composition of the painting is also carefully crafted according to traditional visual arts, ensuring color harmony and proportion. In the stillness of embroidery workshops, artisans pour their hearts onto the silk canvas and threads, creating painting in many genres from landscapes, still lifes, worship paintings, and especially, the most difficult genre of embroidery, portrait embroidery, in hope of preserving the fire of their traditional craftmanship.
