I want to learn four famous programs. Who has information for me? Need pictures, words or anything else urgently.

Among the traditional embroidery techniques in China, Xiang embroidery produced in Hunan Province in central China, Shu embroidery produced in Sichuan Province in western China, Yue embroidery produced in Guangdong Province in southern China and Su embroidery produced in Jiangsu Province in eastern China are often collectively referred to as China's "Four Famous Embroideries".

China's four famous embroideries refer to Su embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Yue embroidery and Shu embroidery. Embroidery, called needle embroidery in ancient times, is a process of drawing colored lines with embroidery needles, embroidering textiles with needles according to designed patterns, and forming patterns with embroidery marks. Embroidery, as a regional handicraft, has its own specialties and advantages after long-term accumulation and development. In addition to the four famous embroideries, there are famous local embroideries in China, such as Jing embroidery, Lu embroidery, Bian embroidery, Ou embroidery, Hang embroidery, Han embroidery and Min embroidery, while ethnic minorities in China, such as Uygur, Yi, Dai, Buyi, Kazak, Yao, Miao, Tujia, Jingpo, Dong, Bai, Zhuang, Mongolian and Tibetan, are also famous.

The names of the four famous embroideries were formed in the middle of19th century. Besides its own artistic characteristics, another important reason is the commercialization of embroidery. Due to the different market demand and embroidery origin, embroidery handicrafts, as a commodity, began to form their own local characteristics. Among them, embroidery products from Jiangsu, Sichuan, Guangdong and Hunan are widely sold and have great influence, so they are called "four famous embroideries".
