It's fascinating to discover that Miao embroidery encompasses several different styles. For example, there's a form of needlework known as "tin" embroidery. It's called "tin" embroidery because flat pieces of tin are woven into the fabric. Due to the tin's more rigid texture compared to cotton or silk thread, the designs tend to feature a highly abstract geometric pattern. These tin embroidery works, with their modern aesthetic appeal, are captivating to outsiders. But for the Miao, they are like an encrypted text telling important tales that only they can interpret.
