Lyrics of Shu embroidery by Li Yuchun

Lotus City: rain in March, embroidery needles in April

Feather fan points to the thousand troops array, brocade cut a few inches

Looking at the iron horse stepping on the ice river and sewing silk thread

Landscape one way, wind and snow another way

Red candle pillow may flower leaves deep June apricot village

Thousands of red crisp hand and green silk

Waiting for the setting sun to shine on the lonely shadow, peony to dye, copper bottle to fill the city with the sound of pastoral flute

I'm on my way home

You can see that every stitch of embroidery is painful for you

You can see that peony has been waiting for you all your life

Who is the spring of all things when rivers run into the sea

The moon never leaves

You can see another stitch of embroidery, someone hurts you

You can see that there are people waiting for you in summer rain and autumn wind

Green bamboo weeps, ink marks, brocade painting and calligraphy fail

Love needle, meaning thread, endless mandarin duck pillow

In this life, I'm proud and proud, thin as a knife, which makes me old

The afterlife and you are happy in the evening

Lotus City: rain in March, embroidery needles in April

Feather fan points to the thousand troops array, brocade cut a few inches

Looking at the iron horse stepping on the ice river and sewing silk thread

Landscape one way, wind and snow another way

Xingye candlelight in June

Thousands of red crisp hand and green silk

Waiting for the setting sun to shine on the lonely shadow, peony to dye, copper bottle to fill the city with the sound of pastoral flute

I'm on my way home

You can see that every stitch of embroidery is painful for you

You can see that peony has been waiting for you all your life

Who is the spring of all things when rivers run into the sea

The moon never leaves

You can see another stitch of embroidery, someone hurts you

You can see that there are people waiting for you in summer rain and autumn wind

Green bamboo weeps, ink marks, brocade painting and calligraphy fail

Love needle, meaning thread, endless mandarin duck pillow

The song of cuckoo's blood

Hibiscus flowers in the kingdom of Shu

Song of war to leave people

It's true

You can see that every stitch of embroidery is painful for you

You can see that peony has been waiting for you all your life

Who is the spring of all things when rivers run into the sea

The moon never leaves

You can see another stitch of embroidery, someone hurts you

You can see that there are people waiting for you in summer rain and autumn wind

Green bamboo weeps, ink marks, brocade painting and calligraphy fail

Love needle, meaning thread, endless mandarin duck pillow

Green bamboo weeps, ink marks, brocade painting and calligraphy fail

Embroidering with mandarin duck thread
