00:00There is nowhere quite like Venice.
00:05Once one of the richest places on earth for centuries, this floating city was the preeminent center for East-West Exchange.
00:12Something which may explain why Venice's most iconic symbol has distant and quite unexpected origins.
00:19Well, we think we discovered that the lion is Chinese.
00:22In western Hunan province, we'll explore a craft that's woven into the local fabric.
00:27The bride behind me is wearing a special Miao wedding dress.
00:30And in Miao culture, mothers weave their blessings into their daughters' wedding dresses.
00:35Every stitch is a cherished memory, each pattern a wish for the future.
00:40Welcome to Crossing Cultures. Join us as we explore the very best traditions of both China and Europe.
00:51Nothing really prepares you for the majesty of Venice.
00:54From its stunning architecture and picturesque canals to the sheer audacity of those who built it.
01:00But delve beneath the surface and there's a darker side.
01:04It's a story of power, seduction and sin.
01:08But also creativity, one that goes to the very heart of the Venetian soul.
01:13One place that vividly brings that story to life is Samarkana.
01:17For over 40 years, it has turned the centuries old craft of Venetian mask making into a true art form.
01:24Davide, what are you working on right now?
01:26Well, I'm creating a new mask.
01:28So, I have a negative form.
01:30I have this special kind of paper called wallpaper that I'm going to combine in a certain way to register all the details of the mould, creating then the new positive mask.
01:42And is this the process that would have been used centuries ago?
01:47For sure, yes.
01:48People used to use the same technique.
01:50So, a negative form and a positive form made with a mask inside it.
01:55And how do you choose the designs? Are you guided by tradition or do you create new styles?
02:00Well, it depends. There are some masks that have certain iconographies.
02:05But then there are many masks that are, you know, fantasy based.
02:08Or they are inspired by books, by films and so on.
02:13Beautifully hand painted, many masks are playful.
02:16Others are slightly macabre and unsettling.
02:19The result is a wonderful, albeit weird world.
02:22But who wore them and why?
02:24Well, at the time of the Republic of Venice, in the past centuries, everybody could wear a mask.
02:30Nobles and commoners to hide their identity.
02:33Then there are other masks for carnival that everybody could wear as well.
02:37That could have been any kind of mask.
02:40Now, from this family of mask makers here in Venice, let's uncover another ancient craft in China.
02:48Igor, over to you.
03:00The Miao are one of China's oldest ethnic groups.
03:03In the misty mountains of western Hunan, they weave their stories in thread and collar.
03:09So, the Miao stood in theunuz of 1944 years.
03:13The music was introduced to the past, the nature of the world of 시도.
03:17The mind of theists were used to be used to be with their stories and stories.
03:19The people of the U.S. were used to be used to build themselves.
03:22Then they shared a new and theian to your sisters.
03:23The world was used to bring themselves out of the woman's life.
03:28It is the music she lived to be used in the life.
03:32I don't know that Miao stood far from the original.
03:34vielleicht gar nicht, aber es ist nicht so, wie wir den Weg nehmen?
03:36Sie können sich als ich solche Dinge auswählen und erfüllen.
03:40Wir werden im vergangenen Versuchungen durch die 5.000 Jahre lang, die 1.000 Jahre lang, die Töne und die Ere.
03:48Wenn wir viele Töne, die Töne haben, wo man sehen, zwei Schifte der Töne schief.
03:55Das zwei Schifte durch die Töne und die Töne und die Töne, die wir über die Töne und die Töne.
04:00In der Miao tradition,
04:30a wedding dress may take three generations to complete.
04:34A single thread runs through time,
04:37binding together the hearts of grandmother,
04:39mother and daughter.
04:41Their hands move at different moments in life,
04:44yet their stitches meet on the same piece of cloth.
04:47This is our family's family,
04:49three hundred years ago,
04:51the traditional family dress dress.
04:55This is a traditional family dress dress.
04:57A family dress dress dress is a traditional family dress dress.
04:58It's a traditional family dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress dress
05:28So, back in the day, the wedding dress was actually not white.
05:33It was red, because red was always, like, shining with happiness.
05:37Generations ago, the Miao people carried their embroidery into the mountains, preserving
06:01color and memory through time.
06:04Now through Yi Hua's hands, these threads of tradition journey outward again, sharing
06:10their story with the world.
06:25The tales of Venetian explorer Marco Polo, written some 700 years ago, are the first European
06:31account of the Orient.
06:33But to what extent were Venice's links already forged with the Far East and China before
06:37his journey there?
06:38Could the city's symbol tell us more?
06:43What have you discovered?
06:44We think we discovered that the lion is Chinese.
06:47The original copper that was used for casting is from China.
06:52And what does this discovery mean for our understanding of Venetian history and Venice's connections
06:59with the wider world?
07:00Well, the lion was up there when Marco Polo left.
07:03He saw it up there.
07:04As a matter of fact, we think that, you know, given the aesthetics and the shape of the casting,
07:12it's probably of time period.
07:14So it goes back to at least 400 years or 300 years before Marco Polo left.
07:20Do we have any idea how it got here?
07:23No.
07:24No.
07:25But we know that the Silk Roads, not only the road ones, but also the maritime one,
07:30were open way before.
07:32So there were clearly exchanges to Southeast Asia and China.
07:36So made in China, but a very long time ago.
07:40Absolutely.
07:45From the wonders of Venice to the beauty of Hunan province, what a fantastic journey it's
07:49been through centuries of art and craft.
07:52Until the next time, thanks for watching.
