In the Jiaoyao ethnic village of Malipo County, Wenshan, Yunnan, women are preserving a unique form of reverse-side embroidery—stitching from the back of the fabric, yet creating complete, smooth patterns on the front. These intricately embroidered garments, rich with the cultural memory of the community, have now entered the market. A meticulously crafted Jiaoyao embroidered outfit can fetch over ten thousand yuan, with sets paired with silver accessories commanding even higher prices, transforming this ancient fingertip artistry into a tangible source of income for local families.
