Welcome.    

Miao is one of China ’s oldest nations in history. It is said “Chi You” that once united and had war with Yellow Emperor and Yan Emperor was the worshipful ancestor of Miao. During the long time, Miao literature precipitates continuously, and become more pure and aromatic, which is a precious treasure in the world’s literature.

Miao embroidery comes first on Miao literature, representing the highest level in the national minority’s embroidery. Miao people embroidery their national history, mythology, nature, and livelihood on the dress, and exhibit the pattern that is unsophisticated, unique, complicated and beautiful with the colored silk thread. The spontaneous expression of the embroidery is exaggerated, the style is distinctive, which has a strong function on express meaning. The art of Miao embroidery is considered as a “history book without written language” and “totem of dress”.

Nowadays, Miao embroidery has been considered as the most exquisite arts by people, whose collecting value is precious. Many Miao embroideries have been collected by personal lovers and the world’s famous art museums. Now, the amount of the classical embroideries in the folk of China is very finite. The organization “Weng Liu Miao Camp” has been pursuing the work of collecting Miao embroideries for many years, which has already collected 5,000 or so of Miao embroideries since Ming Dynasty, aiming at spreading the literature of Miao, and showing it to the world. We hope we have a broad communication with the personal lovers of the classical art in the world.
