The butterfly motif is derived from ancient patterns passed down through millennia in Miao embroidery. It transcends the literal meaning of an insect, symbolizing the beginning of life and the blessing of protection and good fortune.
The butterfly is the ultimate auspicious totem of the Miao region, revered as the "Butterfly Mother," the ancestral being worshipped as the creator of all things. It is believed to possess transcendent power, protecting the world and blessing the land with prosperity.
In the ancient Miao creation epic, it is said that at the dawn of time, the Butterfly Mother united with a water bubble in a mystical union, giving birth to 12 eggs from which humanity and all living things emerged. The butterfly signifies creation, motherhood, love, protection, and auspiciousness.
The traditional Miao embroidery and silver ornaments, passed down through generations, are adorned with countless tributes to the Butterfly Mother, reflecting reverence and hope. In Miao embroidery, the presence of the Butterfly Mother is eternal, carrying a profound meaning of everlasting life, unaffected by the passage of time. The butterfly symbolizes transformation and impermanence.
This ancient totem, a code of good fortune, reaches us through the art of Miao embroidery, connecting us to the past. Through reimagined design, it is given new life with contemporary beauty and modern aesthetic significance. Transformed from Miao embroidery into delicate silk, it envelops you, protects you, blesses your life with fortune, and brings you beauty throughout your journey.
