Artistic Embroidery

The design incorporates the essence of Qin Qi Shu Hua—China’s classical arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting—through masterful embroidery. Using refined flat-stitch and turning-stitch techniques, combined with the Song Dynasty-inspired aesthetic of facial depiction, the garment brings these art forms to life. Each art form is imbued with profound meaning:

• Music (琴): Represents composure and grace.
• Chess (棋): Symbolizes strategy and wisdom.
• Calligraphy (书): Conveys emotional depth and authenticity.
• Painting (画): Reflects the pursuit of perfection and beauty.

These artistic elements celebrate the sophisticated elegance of scholars and literati. Surrounding the design, meticulously embroidered flowers and butterflies add a touch of natural beauty. Butterflies, known for their delicate form and graceful movements, symbolize feminine beauty and are often seen as messengers of spring. Paired with blooming flowers, especially peonies, the motifs convey wishes for prosperity, wealth, and happiness.

Luxurious Details

Adding to its luxurious charm, the neckline is adorned with natural white mink fur, renowned for its opulent texture, superior warmth, and refined appearance. The glossy sheen and dense softness of the mink fur elevate the design, offering both comfort and elegance. This exquisite detail ensures the wearer enjoys both warmth and a regal aesthetic.
