Shen Youran, the inheritor of Suzhou's intangible cultural heritage, returned to China for a banquet with the "Li Shimin Double-sided Embroidery" that won the international gold medal. However, due to a speedboat accident in Taihu Lake, he and his embroidery fell into the palace of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in 753. When she woke up, she became Shen Mingzhu, the little palace maid of Siyifang. The embroidery portrait in her hand, which used more than fifty kinds of modern stitches, was regarded as a "fairy trick" and alarmed the emperor.
As a top student at the China Academy of Art, she revolutionized Tang Dynasty embroidery with her anatomical sketching skills. The portraits she embroidered have a three-dimensional look of light and shadow. Crown Princess Wu had a keen eye and said, "What I want is a mother who can look down on the country side by side with my son." She was given a marriage to the cold and repressive King Li Yu of Guangping. On their wedding night, she made a prediction about the "Anshi Rebellion in 755", which made the political couple a life-or-death alliance.
When Concubine Cui was framed, Yang Guozhong was wary, and An Lushan was sharpening his sword, this time traveler with modern management thinking and hard-core intangible cultural heritage skills was no longer just an embroiderer in the palace. She opened an embroidery garden in the palace to accommodate refugees, and used the field hospital concept to treat wounded soldiers; she embroidered the topographic map of Guanzhong on the lining of her dragon robe, and used double-sided embroidery skills to obtain rebel defenses. From the maid who fell into the water to the princess, she used needles as pens and silk as ink to weave a picture of a prosperous and prosperous age in the blood and fire of Chang'an.
This is a story of survival of a talented woman, and a legend of a guardian of civilization - when the torrent of history is unstoppable, she chooses to use her skills to reduce the scars of the war, and uses modern wisdom to assist the future Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Yu in pacifying the Anshi Rebellion. A double-sided embroidery that spans thousands of years, with the majesty of the Tang Dynasty on the front and the compassion of modernity on the back, and she is the stitch that connects the two eras.
