Embroidery is a national traditional culture. Embroidery is different in every place. The embroidery culture of different regions and nationalities is different, and each has its own characteristics. Mongolian embroidery ornaments are well known, especially the ornaments, which are very exquisite and rich, and Mongolian embroidery was selected into the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list in 2008, so let's understand how Mongolian culture is enduring and has a long history.

1, historical origin

According to the related documents such as "Guide to Mongolian Customs" written by Rob Sankadan, before the second half of the 3rd century (Yuan Dynasty), ancient Mongolians paid great attention to embroidery art in their lives, and it was widely used. Mongolian ancestors combined their own national and regional characteristics to create clothes, boots, hats, utensils and furniture suitable for their own national needs.

Embroidery is widely used in Mongolian clothing, food, housing and transportation. Mongolian yurts have been a kind of tent for Mongolian people since ancient times. The top decoration and door curtain of Mongolian yurts should be decorated with applique embroidery, and various patterns should be embroidered on the dense seam felt laid underground to become decorative works of art, which will make the life of herders more rich and comfortable. The "front flower" and "side flower" of the long vest in Mongolian robe and life are rigorous and changeable in composition, rich and colorful in theme, proper in density, well decorated with small flowers and birds, and light yellow and pink-green edging, which is very pleasing to the eye. These embroideries of Mongolian working people are naturally simple and unpretentious. In embroidery, they praise the beautiful life simply and naturally, and let people get aesthetic education from artistic enjoyment.

2. Inheritance mode

Among the Mongolians, there has been a traditional habit that every woman is good at embroidery since ancient times. In ancient times, Mongolian aristocratic women and poor women learned to master embroidery. Mongolian girls learn embroidery from childhood and master various embroidery skills at home. Of course, this kind of learning is not guided by special schools and teachers, but mainly inspired and cultivated by their mothers' skilled needlework and embroidery.

In ancient Mongolian society, clothes, hats and other daily necessities were not sold, and all kinds of articles and embroidery were undertaken by women in every family, because what they made was made according to different users and physical conditions. When the daughter at home is seventeen, eighty or twenty years old, the ability of embroidery has reached a relatively skilled level. While further learning embroidery, family education should also be carried out. Before marriage, everyone in the husband's family should have a pair of "bone spurs and tula". This kind of "bone spur climbing and Tula" is a gift from her mother's family to her husband's family. From the point of view of ordinary families, more than 50 pairs of shoes and boots should be made, especially for the groom. (These habits are particularly prominent in eastern Mongolia county. ) The embroidery quality of these boots is often used to measure the intelligence and ability of girls.
