公眾講座：廟宇與神功刺繡

（講座由華人廟宇委員會主辦，古物古蹟辦事處協辦。）

講者：黃國興師傅（資深刺繡師）

撮要：
廟宇內常見的刺繡品，如神衣、御扇、橫衽、長幡、檯圍等，除可用作裝飾外，亦表達善信敬奉神明的心意，而神明在刺繡品上的用色及圖案亦各有規格。現今手製刺繡品逐漸式微，這些具藝術欣賞價值的刺繡品更見可貴。講者將以已列為法定古蹟或已獲評級的廟宇為例子，解說廟宇刺繡品的種類、寓意及製作；並更會作即場示範。

Public Lecture: Chinese Temples and Auspicious Embroidery

(Organised by The Chinese Temples Committee in association with the Antiquities and Monuments Office)

Speaker: Mr Wong Kwok Hing (Master of Embroidery)

Abstract:
Embroideries including Shenyi (God’s robe), Yushan (imperial folding fan), Hengren (a cloth which is rectangular in shape), Changfan (long banner), Taiwei (altar cloth), etc. are commonly found in Chinese temples. Apart from decorative purpose, the embroideries used in auspicious occasions are often regarded as a mean to express reverence to the deities by the worshippers. There are various standards, in terms of colour and pattern, to comply with when respective deities are embroidered. Handmade embroideries with great aesthetic value are seemingly more precious nowadays as the industry is fading. The speaker will use temples which have been declared as monuments or given grading status as examples to illustrate the categories, implications and production of the embroideries found in Chinese temples. The speaker will also give demonstration during the lecture.
