Chinese embroidery:

Embroidery, also known as needle embroidery, is commonly known as embroidery. It is one of the excellent national traditional crafts in China to draw colored lines (silk, velvet and thread) with embroidery needles and embroider needles on fabrics (silk, cloth and silk) according to the designed patterns to form patterns or characters with embroidery marks. It was called "haze" and "needle haze" in ancient times. Later, because embroidery was mostly made by women, it was also called "needlework". According to the Book of History, as early as 4,000 years ago, the system of chapter clothes stipulated that "clothes should be embroidered".

Embroidery, as a regional handicraft, has its own specialties and advantages after long-term accumulation and development. In China, besides Suzhou embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Yue embroidery and Shu embroidery, there are also Beijing embroidery, Lu embroidery, Bian embroidery, Ou embroidery, Hang embroidery, Han embroidery and Min embroidery, as well as ethnic minorities in China, such as Uighurs, Yi, Dai, Buyi, Kazak, Yao, Miao, Tujia, Jingpo and Miao.
