What are the four famous embroideries in China? Brief introduction of four famous embroideries in China.

1, the four famous embroideries refer to Suzhou Suzhou embroidery, Hunan Xiang embroidery, Guangdong Yue embroidery and Sichuan Shu embroidery. Embroidery is a general term for all kinds of decorative patterns embroidered on fabrics with needles and threads. There are two kinds of embroidery: silk embroidery and feather embroidery. China's embroidery technology reached a high level in Qin and Han Dynasties, and it was one of the important commodities transported on the Silk Road in history. China's four famous embroideries are outstanding representatives of Chinese embroidery.

2. Xiang embroidery is developed by absorbing the advantages of Su embroidery and other embroideries. Xiang embroidery blends with threads of different colors, with gradual changes, rich colors and harmonious tones. The pattern of Xiang embroidery draws lessons from the advantages of Chinese painting, and the content of embroidery is mostly landscapes, figures and animals. Especially the lions and tigers in Xiang embroidery are lifelike.

3. Guangdong embroidery is rich in composition, complicated but not chaotic, decorative, colorful and smooth in embroidery. Guangdong embroidery has a wide range of themes, mostly early birds, dragons and phoenixes.

4. Shu embroidery takes soft satin and colored silk as the main raw materials, with more than 100 stitches, which gives full play to the specialty of manual embroidery and has a strong local style. The themes of Shu embroidery are mostly flowers, birds, animals, insects, fish and figures. Besides embroidered screens, there are quilts, pillowcases, cushions, tablecloths, headscarves and so on.

5. Suzhou embroidery is the general name of embroidery products centered on Suzhou, Jiangsu, including Jiangsu. Legend has it that Zhong Yong's granddaughter "Nvhong" first made embroidered clothes. In ancient Jiangnan area, people had the custom of tattooing dragons on their bodies. Zhong Yong wanted to get rid of this bad habit. His granddaughter Nvhong invented embroidered dragons on clothes instead of tattoos. In order to commemorate the inventor of embroidery, people also call women's activities such as spinning, sewing and embroidery "needlework". Suzhou lies to the south of the Yangtze River. The birthplace of Suzhou embroidery is Wuxian, Suzhou, which is close to Taihu Lake. The climate here is mild and rich in silk. So there is a traditional habit that women are good at embroidery. Superior geographical environment, rich brocade and colorful flower lines have created favorable conditions for the development of Suzhou embroidery. In the long historical development process, Suzhou embroidery has formed a local style with beautiful patterns, harmonious colors, bright lines, lively stitches and fine embroidery, and is known as the "Oriental Pearl".
