CHINA-JIANGXI-HAIR EMBROIDERY (CN)

Craftswoman Tao Yonghong displays her hair embroidery created on rice paper in Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi Province, April 13, 2018. The hair embroidery, which has more than 500 years of history, is listed as a provincial intangible cultural heritage. As its name suggests, hair embroidery uses human hair as threads. As Chinese people generally have black hair, it is also called "Moxiu" (black embroidery). (Xinhua/Song Zhenping)
