Research into the well established field of conservation and preservation on Chinese embroidery

Hunan embroidery is a representative of traditional craftsmanship. Manually extracting and sorting out the cultural genes of Hunan embroidery takes a lot of manpower and time, it need to adopt advanced technological ways for subsequent inheritance and development.

Today I have read two papers on the preservation and conversation of Hunan embroidery in the context of digitisation and Artificial intelligence. AI has already been used to preserve and utilise the unique stitches of Hunan embroidery, such as the excavation of historical and cultural genes, the research and establishment of a data base of Hunan embroidery stitches, the intelligent recognition of original Hunan embroidery paintings and stitch modelling, intelligent plate-making software and intelligent equipment technolog Synergy.

On the other hand, there is also the video animation of Hunan embroidery as a display through video editing, providing a feasible path for the preservation, inheritance and innovation of Hunan embroidery culture in the digital era.

To sum up, regarding the way I currently want to get about the heritage and conservation of Hunan embroidery has already been done, I can consider whether to do the same in other aspects of heritage and conservation, as this direction is huge and time and energy consuming, considering the resources I currently have in the end only 1 month or so I may not have time to do the innovation. But this is a direction I can continue to dig deeper into after I graduate.
