听说古人也有“泰迪熊”？

老虎是威风凛凛的百兽之王，

可你见过它们萌态十足的样子吗？

请你看看这只布老虎——

头大、眼大、嘴大、尾巴大，

既不失老虎本身的威武，

又透出几分孩童的天真。

布艺老虎是中国传统的针线手艺，

起源于祖先对虎的崇拜。

《山海经》中就记载过这样一个故事，

传说一对神将兄弟曾率虎群与恶鬼搏斗，

保住了成熟的仙桃与神树，

惠及一方百姓。

老虎的名气也随之大震，

成为坚强、勇敢的象征。

布艺老虎的制作包括剪、缝、装瓤、

绣、扎、画等多种工序，

制作的材料及工艺也各不相同。

较为常见的是用棉布、丝绸缝制成形，

内填谷糠、棉花等物，

再描绘上五官和花纹。

心灵手巧的老一辈制做布老虎，

作为玩具、摆件，

陪伴小孩左右，

布艺老虎是中国孩子的“泰迪熊”

装点着他们的童年，

见证着他们的成长。

布艺老虎体现着中国妇女特有的

心灵手巧和聪明才智

一针一线，

都是对下一代满满的爱意与祝福。

Cloth Tiger

The tiger is the majestic king of beasts, but have you seen how cute they are? Look at this cloth tiger- big head, big eyes, big mouth and big tail. It does not lose the might of the tiger, but also reveals a bit of childish innocence.

Cloth tiger is a traditional Chinese needle and thread craftsmanship, originated from the ancestor's worship of the tiger. The legend has it, that two god brothers led a group of tigers to fight against evil spirits, and preserved the sacred tree and peaches, benefiting the people in one area. The tiger's reputation has thus been made, and it has become a symbol of strength and bravery.

The production of cloth tigers includes cutting, sewing, furnishing, embroidery, tying and painting. Various materials and craftsmanship are used. They are often made with cloth or silk, stuffed with cotton or grain bran, then the facial features and stripes are painted.

The older generation makes cloth tigers as toys and ornaments for children. They are Chinese children's 'teddy bears', furnishing their childhood and witnessing their growth. They also embody the ingenuity and originality of Chinese women. Every stitch is full of love and blessings for the next generation.
