The "March 8th" Women's Day Handicraft Activity of Shenglong in 2026 was successfully held.

The spring breeze is blowing, and everything is renewed. In order to celebrate the "March 8th" International Working Women's Day and enrich the spiritual and cultural life of female workers, on the afternoon of March 6th, Shenglong Labor Union carefully organized the theme activity of "inheritance of non-legacy craftsmanship". Female employees from all departments of the company gathered together and spent a beautiful afternoon full of cultural charm in the light of mother of pearl and the longitude and latitude of Song brocade.

Encounter Intangible Cultural Heritage, Touch Millennium Ingenuity

At the beginning of the activity, Huang Lijuan, chairman of the Labor union, extended sincere festival greetings to all female employees on behalf of the company, and pointed out: "The colorful streamer of mother of pearl is the dialogue between shells and time; the interweaving of warp and weft of Song brocade is the dance of silk thread and ingenuity.". Today, I hope that by touching these two non-legacy skills with my own hands, we can feel the temperature of traditional culture and discover the beauty of life after busy work.

Subsequently, the teacher introduced in detail the historical origin and technological characteristics of mother of pearl and Song brocade. Mother of pearl: The pearlescent layer of luminous shells, mother-of-pearl and other shells is polished into thin slices, which are inlaid on the objects and transformed into colorful brilliance with the flow of light. Brocade of the Song Dynasty, which has been handed down from the Song Dynasty to the present, shows both longitude and latitude, with elegant patterns, one inch of brocade and one inch of gold. Nowadays, it is often made into brooches, hairpins and other fashionable ornaments. The female workers listened attentively and were eager to try.

Flourish with Fingertip Craft, Light Up Time with Creativity

In the hand-made experience link, we are divided into two groups to create. The table of the snail group is filled with colorful shell slices, wooden jewelry boxes and special tools. Under the guidance of the teacher, we carefully use tweezers to pick up shellfish pieces as thin as hair, and collage flowers, birds, landscapes or geometric patterns on the bottom tire. Fingertips caress, brilliant, each shell is shining in the light of a unique rainbow.

The Song brocade group is immersed in the elegance of the interweaving of longitude and latitude. Everyone chooses their favorite Song brocade patterns-twining lotus, Bada halo, swastika pattern With the help of the teacher, the brocade is skillfully combined with brooches, hairpins and car accessories. Pieces of silky Song brocade, under the ingenuity of female workers, turn into fashionable items with unique charm.

Inheritance of ingenuity and cohesion of women's strength

This non-legacy activity not only made the female workers enjoy a full and happy festival, but also deepened their recognition and love of the excellent traditional Chinese culture in their own experience.

Huang Lijuan said: "Female workers are an important force in the development of the company. The Labor union will continue to innovate the forms of activities to provide more platforms for everyone to cultivate their sentiments and improve their literacy, so that every female worker can blossom her own youth in the Shenglong family."
