With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, the traditional costumes of the She nationality can only be seen at festivals or grand celebrations of the nation. Therefore, embroidery in Shexiang gradually withdrew from the stage of life. This ancient and vivid embroidery in Shexiang, Longgang, has also been washed to the beach of the long river of life in the torrent of market economy. There are few successors, and the market is weak, which needs urgent protection.
