Chinese embroidery, also known as silk embroidery or needle embroidery, is one of the excellent traditional folk craft in China. China is the first country in the world to discover and use silk. Chinese people began to cultivate silkworms and reel silk four or five thousand years ago. With the use of silk and the emergence and development of silk fabrics, embroidery craft has gradually sprung up. According to the system of official costumes recorded in Shangshu, it was stipulated that “ there should be pictures and embroidery on the coat and dress.” The atmosphere of pursuing embroidery clothing in the Song Dynasty has gradually become widely popular in the folk, which has also promoted the development of Chinese embroidery craft. The four famous embroideries in China are Suzhou embroidery, Yue embroidery, Xiang embroidery and Shu embroidery. The embroidery part in this course will focus on appreciation and cultural experience. Embroidery as a kind of handicrafts which is widely popular in many regions, through long-term accumulation and development of various countries and nations, has its own strengths. In China, in addition to Suzhou embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Yue embroidery and Shu embroidery, there are also many locally famous embroidery, such as Beijing embroidery, Lu embroidery, Kaifeng embroidery, Wenzhou embroidery, Hangzhou embroidery, Han embroidery, Min embroidery, etc. Ethnic minorities in China, such as Uyghur, Yi, Dai, Buyi, Kazakh, Yao, Miao, Tujia, Jingpo, Dong, Bai, Zhuang, Mongol, Tibet and so on, also have characteristic ethnic embroidery. Xiang embroidery has a long history, which can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period more than 2000 years ago. From the large amount of embroidery unearthed from the Chu tombs of the warring States in Changsha and the Mawangdui tombs of Han Dynasty, we can see that the local embroidery skills in Hunan at that time had reached an amazing height. In 1958, the embroidery with dragon and phoenix patterns found in the Chu tombs in Changsha is so delicate and its stitching is so exquisite that let people gasp in admiration.
