Imagine needlework on delicate canvas

A three-storied house in a narrow lane in downtown Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province, appears to be a museum with a large-scale exhibition going on.

Lots of traditional Chinese calligraphy and ink paintings are seen in showcases there as well as on the walls.

However, the Chinese calligraphy and ink paintings are embroidery on rice paper created by Gu Yuchun and his apprentices, who spend most of their day on needlework on the ground floor of the building.
