Many of these forms of knowledge, traditionally transmitted only through experience, are at risk of disappearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this, Yunbroidery focuses not only on completed works, but on the underlying processes of embroidery, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>stitch paths and sequencing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>thread movement between planar and spatial dimensions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>hidden systems of order, rhythm, and logic within patterns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each embroidery work is studied through hand-drawn canvas diagrams and systematic visual analysis, recording stitch entry, exit, direction, and structural relationships. These analyses aim to transform tacit hand knowledge into readable, research-oriented structural data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yunbroidery treats embroidery as a technical culture that can be researched, structured, and engaged in dialogue with artificial intelligence, without reducing it to mechanized production. The goal is not to replace hand practice, but to preserve and extend the intelligence embedded in manual experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a long-term research project and evolving database intended for academic study, education, and future interdisciplinary applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Citation and Use<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">This
