I realised that while I’ve introduced the art of Chan-hua many times, I rarely ever talk about myself. This time, let me share a little story about ‘Chan-hua and Me’—or perhaps, ‘Me and Chan-hua’!
I taught myself the art of Chan-hua during the pandemic- a time when the world slowed down.
Originating from the Hakka culture, this intangible cultural heritage holds personal significance: my mom is half Hakka, though she has never encountered this craft. I fell in love with this delicate art not only because of its exquisite beauty, but also a sense of groundedness I found in the patterned rhythm of thread-wrapping.
I am moved by the innate human drive of creating beauty from scarcity. With only a few humble materials like threads, paper, wire and a pair of scissors, people could create such elegant art pieces.
I often imagine a community of women gathering in a courtyard after a full day of chores, co-regulating through shared presence and craft. Each meticulous wrap is a vessel for love and blessings, transforming simple threads into sacred heirlooms passing down to future generations.
我發現自己介紹過無數次纏花工藝，卻很少聊聊我自己。這次，就讓我簡單分享一下，關於『我與纏花』——又或是『纏花與我』的故事吧！
在步調緩慢的疫情期間，我自學了纏花藝術。這項非物質文化遺產源自客家文化，對我有著意義：家母有著一半的客家血統，儘管她從未接觸過這門工藝。我深深愛上這項細緻的藝術，不僅僅是因為它精緻的美感，更因為在纏繞絲線的規律節奏中，我找到了一份內心的踏實。人類本能地驅使著我們在匱乏中創造美，這讓我深受感動。僅憑藉線、紙、金屬線和剪刀這幾種質樸的材料和工具，人們便能創造出如此優雅的藝術品。我經常想像著這樣的畫面：一群客家女性在做完一整天的家務後，聚集在庭院裡，透過共享當下的時光與手作來相互陪伴與療癒。每一次一絲不苟的纏繞，都承載著愛與祝福，將平凡的絲線轉化為代代相傳的神聖傳家寶。
