Brief Introduction of China Traditional Embroidery

Embroidery, also known as needle embroidery, was called embroidery or needle embroidery in ancient times. It is a decorative process in which needles and threads are repeatedly wound on the fabric to form patterns. Because embroidery is mostly done by women, it is also called "needlework". Chinese embroidery has a long history. It is an exquisite and gorgeous art, bearing heavy traditional culture and national spirit.

Chinese embroidery has a history of at least 4000 years. Because embroidery is difficult to preserve, there are few works handed down to later generations, and ancient embroidery is rarely left. We can only look at its appearance through relevant historical materials.

After thousands of years' evolution, China traditional embroidery has developed continuously, refined techniques and enriched expressive force, and finally formed a colorful embroidery system.

China has a vast territory, and its material conditions and humanistic environment are very different. Regional differences lead to the diversification of embroidery varieties and techniques, forming a rich and colorful embroidery style.
