The "Cloud and Thunder Pattern" is a symbol widely used in ancient Chinese artifacts, particularly as a prominent motif on bronze ware during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Often serving as a background to highlight the main theme, it symbolizes the cosmos, the unity of heaven and earth, and the primordial state of chaos before creation.
The Miao people, a culture with thousands of years of history yet without a written language, use their garments and the intricate embroidery on them to express their culture and history, preserving millennia of memories and traditions. Miao embroidery, known as the "unwritten celestial book," astonishes us with its incorporation of the "Cloud and Thunder Pattern." This motif flows gracefully through their elaborate ceremonial attire, passed down through generations as a symbol of good fortune and protection for their ancestors and descendants alike.
While we lament that "time flows and traditions fade," we marvel at how these ancient cultural elements have been preserved in the distant Miao region.
The "Cloud and Thunder Pattern," an ancient code of fortune and protection, has transcended millennia through Miao embroidery to arrive before us today, reconnecting us with the past. Through redesign, we imbue it with modern beauty and contemporary aesthetics. Transformed into a delicate piece of silk, it envelops you, protects you, blesses your life, and brings beauty to your journey.
