The origin of embroidery

Tu nationality is a nation that can sing and dance well and love beauty. In the Tu costume culture, the most striking and beautiful is the Tu flower sleeve shirt. This is the traditional dress of Tu women, and it is called "Su Xiu" in Tu language. It is a set of sleeves made of seven colors of cloth or silk, such as red, yellow, blue, white, black, purple and green, and sewn on the gown. Because Tu women like to wear colorful flower sleeves, people used to call them "people wearing rainbow clothes", hence the name "the hometown of Tu people".

These flower sleeves are the most concentrated embodiment of the embroidery skills of the Tu nationality, especially the disc embroidery skills. The operation method of coil embroidery is one stitch and two stitches, one stitch and one stitch. It is characterized by exquisite stitches, exquisite color matching of fabrics and silk threads, firmness, compactness and durability. The patterns mainly include pomegranate, five-petal plum, Tai Chi map and so on. It contains auspicious meanings such as family prosperity and long-term happiness, and has a history of more than 1000 years.

In ancient times, people's embellishment of clothing was limited to embroidery, and local embroidery was handed down only because it formed its own characteristics in the local inheritance process, and there was no special historical reason!
