What is the name of the folk embroidery process circulating in Guangzhou?

The folk embroidery process circulating in Guangzhou is called "Guangdong Embroidery".

Guang embroidery is the general name of folk embroidery in Guangzhou and its ancient territories, such as Nanhai, Panyu and Shunde. Guangdong embroidery is a folk embroidery process, which has been spread in Guangzhou and its ancient territories, such as Nanhai, Panyu and Shunde, with a history of 1000 years.

In Du Yang Zaben written by Su Jaw in Tang Dynasty, it is recorded that the girl's skill is very superb, and she can embroider seven volumes of cursive script on a straight wire. On May 20th, 2006, Guangdong Embroidery (Yue Embroidery) was approved by People's Republic of China (PRC) and the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, with the project number ⅶ-20.

The Qing Dynasty was the heyday of the development of Guangdong embroidery. Due to its unique geographical location and special policies, Guangzhou became a trading port that monopolized the maritime trade between China and the West, and also became a production base and a transit base for exporting artworks in the Qing Dynasty. The huge overseas market makes the Guangdong embroidery industry develop rapidly.

Inherited value:

Guangdong embroidery (Yue embroidery) has extremely high technical value and cultural aesthetic value. It inherits the characteristics of traditional embroidery techniques, has unique regional craft characteristics, and continues to develop and progress.

At the same time, Guangdong Embroidery (Cantonese Embroidery) adopts the paintings of Lingnan painters, with litchi, cotton wool, flowers and birds and other patterns with strong Lingnan characteristics as the main theme, and also absorbs the western painting lines and light and dark changes. The works look very stereoscopic and ornamental, and are good at integrating auspicious and beautiful wishes into them to express their pursuit and love for life, which has high cultural and aesthetic value.

Now, with the death of old artists, some unique skills of Cantonese embroidery have gradually disappeared, and Cantonese embroidery (Cantonese embroidery) is in urgent need of young inheritors. Today, with the continuous development of social economy and the rapid development of science and technology, Guangdong embroidery, which relies on manual skills to win by surprise, has been seriously impacted by machine embroidery and computer embroidery, and its market has shrunk, making it difficult to survive and in urgent need of support and protection.
