Flowers and leaves, branches and bamboos, seemingly ordinary things, have been made into exquisite works of art through the skillful hands of Hu Xiaozhao, chairman of Chongqing Gujingting Culture Development Co., Ltd., Chongqing Guxinxiang Handicraft Co., Ltd.

Hu Xiaozhao began to develop plant paintings in 2013, and his materials are selected from reeds, wheat stalks, bamboo shoot shells and branches in Kaizhou Wetland Park. He made use of the natural luster of plants and the characteristics of torn into silk, after ironing, cutting, pasting and other 16 processes, made into a clever idea, lifelike plant paintings.

In recent years, in order to better publicize Kaizhou, Hu Xiaozhao created literature and travel products with strong Kaizhou symbols. In the process of his creation, he skillfully integrated the elements of Kaizhou, spread the beauty and culture of Kaizhou in an all-round way, and attracted tourists to travel to Kaizhou. Buildings that represent the local characteristics of Kaizhou, such as Kaizhou Jiuzi Garden, Wenfeng Pagoda, Wind and Rain Corridor Bridge, Wetland Park and Nine Arch Bridge, often appear in his works.

In addition to making plant paintings, Hu Xiaozhao is also keen on Han embroidery in Kaizhou. Kaizhou Han embroidery has a history of more than 1800 years and has been included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. Its needle is different from Suzhou embroidery, Shu embroidery, Xiang embroidery and Guang embroidery. It adopts a set of needles of laying, flat, weaving, interstitching, pressing, cable, blending, plate, cover, cushion and buckle, with "flat gold clip embroidery" as the main form of expression.

Inherit classics and create classics. The innovative Hu Xiaozhao incorporated Kaizhou Han embroidery into more Kaizhou elements, taking the beautiful scenery of Kaizhou as the original picture, that is, the three-arch bridge, the old city wall, the old alley and the old Guanzui in the old city. Hanfeng Lake in the new city, Kaizhou Jusi Garden, Xunsheng Bridge, Wenfeng Pagoda and other Kaizhou "eight sights". These Han embroidery works are beautiful in color, exquisite in composition, unique in creativity, and have a strong feeling of homesickness, which makes countless people in Kaizhou feel immersive, and makes many outsiders yearning to visit here.

The integration of culture and travel is the main theme of the times. As a native of Kaizhou, Hu Xiaozhao is determined to push Kaizhou to the world. In his creation, he included the feelings of hometown. He incorporated Kaizhou elements into daily necessities such as table lamps, notebooks, T-shirts, bookmarks, handicrafts, and so on. He introduced the "Kaizhou symbol" in the form of art and created a large number of literature and travel products of "remembering homesickness" with boxing hometown feelings.
