The historical origin of Chinese embroidery, what kind of story is there, and why is it world-famous?

Chinese embroidery develops with the development of China culture, but the origin of Chinese embroidery is hard to say clearly. The particularity of embroidery makes it impossible to preserve and retain for a long time, so it is impossible to confirm the dynasty in which it appeared.

Judging from the unearthed cultural relics of the Western Zhou Dynasty, embroidery probably existed in the Western Zhou Dynasty. In addition, according to archaeological findings, some unearthed objects are still stuck with embroidery lines and patterns. This may be left by embroidery. Clothes embroidered with dragons and phoenixes were unearthed from No.1 Chu Tomb in Mashan, Jiangling, Hubei.

What promoted the development of embroidery?

Perhaps the farming culture in China promoted the development of embroidery to some extent, because the development of agriculture actually promoted the development of silk industry. When embroidery meets silk weaving, it is like meeting the feeling of love at the corner, so embroidery has been greatly developed. The beginning of men's farming and women's weaving also brought embroidery closer to everyone's vision. Families engaged in Sang Ma and silk weaving also laid a solid foundation for future embroidery.

On the basis of comprehensive textile, embroidery is more dynamic and has a broader space. As one of the reasons to promote the development of embroidery, social hierarchy is also an important reason. When China culture develops to a certain social level, sacrifices and grades also have high requirements for embroidery. Because of the different grades, naturally you can't wear the same clothes. Nobles and bureaucrats, bureaucrats and businessmen. They all try to change their clothes through embroidery, thus showing their differences and dignity.

Later, social solidification became more and more serious, and embroidery became a compulsory course for women in the Tang Dynasty. Ink embroidery (also called hair embroidery) originated in this period. And has been well developed, and the participation of these ladies will make embroidery more popular, and embroidery has become a necessity to evaluate a woman.

With the continuous development of the times, official embroidery began to decline, but the folk embroidery industry continued to progress. Because the embroidery industry was favored by literati, the embroidery styles in this period were diverse.

A single technology can no longer meet the needs of people at that time, because the regions and favorite styles are different. Embroidery slowly began to be divided into schools, and their further development in techniques and styles led to what we see today. Beijing embroidery, Lu embroidery, etc. During this period, all the embroideries developed vigorously, including four famous embroideries, Suzhou embroidery, Shu embroidery, Xiang embroidery and Shu embroidery. Is the product of this period.
