Applying the embroidered fabric label technique to create traditional embroidered lions involves infusing Spun Polyester thread in the middle of this material for effective shaping and support. Digital printing, Nylon yarn, and embroidery techniques are utilized to portray the cultural spirit of mountains and seas in Chinese culture. Additionally, this material serves as a decorative element, enhancing the visual appeal by securely adorning the costume design.

Guan Gong holds significance as a vital deity in Taiwan's folk belief culture.
Inspiration: Drawing inspiration from the traditional clothing style of the statue of Guan Sheng Dijun at Taiwan's Daxi Puji Temple, an intangible cultural heritage with a history of over a century. The aspiration is to break away from the singularity of traditional divine clothing embroidery culture, utilizing modern textile technology and craftsmanship to revive traditional techniques. Creating a unique and narrative-driven ethnic performance costume based on the historical and cultural aspects of Guan Gong.
