The traditional embroidery of the Shui ethnic group is an important part in the Shui culture which is viewed as the living fossil of the embroidery. It uses pony tails as the material and the products are solid and lasting, the color is bright, and the pattern of the embroidery is unique, since there is no blue print of the pattern of the traditional embroidery of the Shui ethnic group and all the patterns are original.

The process of the traditional embroidery of the Shui ethnic group is very difficult and costs a lot of time. The Shui people used to judge ingenious a girl from that whether she was good at the traditional embroidery or not. Since young people leave to look for jobs outside, the number of successors is keep falling.

Yingli WEI, a successor of the traditional embroidery of the Shui group, found her business through using the traditional embroidery on such as clothes, shoes, caps and so on. These character clothes are very popular and profitable. Yingli WEI has founded the association of the traditional embroidery and has trained local women to make the production of the traditional embroidery. They produced according to the orders and the production is in larger scale now.
