Stunning embroidery of China's Miao People - a photo blogger's perspective | A China Icons Video

Описание: Australian photo-blogger Fiona Reilly introduces us to the stunning embroidery of China's Miao People, whilst on assignment in Guizhou Province, south west China.

China's Miao People are one of the largest ethnic minorities in the country and, with no written language, their stunning embroidery is particularly important in passing local stories and legends down through generations.

Miao women learn how to make their stunning embroidery from a young age, and create pieces throughout their life for special occasions including festivals and weddings, as well as everyday wear.

Fiona Reilly is the award winning photo-blogger behind Life in Nanchang Lu and will be back on China Icons with more photo vlogs on Guizhou Province in 2015.
