Random needle embroidery, also known as regular embroidery and brocade embroidery, is a Chinese embroidery technique suitable for embroidering appreciation items. It was founded in the 1930s by Yang Shouyu, a native of Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, with the pen name Bingruo. A modern embroidery craftsman. Because of its unique embroidery method, it is known as the fifth most famous embroidery in China today. Random needle embroidery mainly uses long and short cross lines and layered coloring techniques to express the picture. The needlework is lively, the lines are smooth, the colors are rich, the sense of layering is strong, and the style is unique. It is good at embroidering works such as oil paintings, photography and sketches. Regular embroidery is an art form created by Yang Shouyu. The materials used for regular embroidery are silk thread, yarn, and ordinary sewing needles. There are also various textures of base materials for embroidery. Using needles instead of pens and colored silk as colors, painting and embroidery are integrated into one, and the style is self-made. Regular embroidery is different from plain embroidery. Plain embroidery uses a language of craftsmanship, while regular embroidery uses a painting language to express an emotion, so that one's emotions are integrated with the theme of the embroidery painting into a whole, and because of the unique embroidery technique. The embroidery needlework created by embroiderer Yang Shouyu in the 1930s combines the techniques of traditional Chinese embroidery with the characteristics of Western art, and was inspired by the imitation embroidery of Shen Shou in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. In traditional Suzhou embroidery, each stitch is closely connected and arranged in the same direction, but in random stitch embroidery, the stitches are of different lengths, in different directions, and cross each other, and the techniques of layering and adding colors are used to make the colors richer. In addition to being good at embroidery, the creator Yang Shouyu is also good at painting and has learned Western painting. The invention of random stitch embroidery was created in 1933 in two works based on Western paintings. She created the traditional embroidery method of "parallelizing the needles and closely connecting the lines" into a technique of crossing straight and oblique lines of varying lengths and layering and mixing colors to embroider figures, landscapes, still lifes, and animals. The emergence of random stitch is a major breakthrough in the thousands of years of traditional Chinese embroidery. It is a pioneering effort to integrate Western painting with Chinese embroidery, and has opened up a broad prospect for advancing to a higher level of art. Artist Yang Jingyu's disciple Chen Yaxian inherited the style of her master. She created a portrait random stitch embroidery "Happy Old Man", which has a vivid and prominent image, a happy expression, and a strong appeal. The wrinkles on the face of the character, the loose skin, the fluffy silver hair, and especially the flowing beard are the magic touch of the whole work. After the successful development of "random stitch embroidery", Suzhou embroidery works are no longer all about small animals. It has embroidered a colorful world of Shanghai embroidery. After his work "Cedar" was embroidered into Suzhou embroidery, the famous American photographer Robert Kochmu was intoxicated and savored it carefully, and was completely convinced by the exquisiteness and magic of oriental art. Because it is very different from traditional Chinese embroidery and looks like random stitches, it is named. It is also called "Yang embroidery" because of its founder, Ms. Yang Shouyu. The name of the school where Ms. Yang Shouyu teaches is "Zhengze Art College", so random needle embroidery is also called "Zhengze embroidery". Random needle embroidery is a brand-new development of Chinese embroidery in modern times. It is a conceptual and technical breakthrough produced by the founder under a brand-new cultural resource and state of mind. As a brand-new and independent type of embroidery, many people are not very clear about the concept of random needle embroidery, which is easy to cause confusion and misunderstanding. Here is a brief explanation, mainly to distinguish random needle embroidery from Suzhou embroidery, random needle embroidery from traditional embroidery, and random needle embroidery from random needle method. A successful random needle embroidery work can definitely be called a perfect work of art. It can be decorated with a frame or hung on the wall, and can be viewed from a distance or up close. The demeanor of the characters and animals, and the beauty of the scenery make people feel amazed! In March 2007, random needle embroidery was selected into the first batch of intangible cultural heritage list of Jiangsu Province. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
