China is home to silk, thereby having a variety of arts related to silk, one of which is embroidery.
Embroidery, with at least two or three thousand years of history, is one of the Chinese traditional
folk arts and crafts. Since most embroiderers are women, it's
also called women's needlework.
Embroidery has been much-loved by the Chinese people. It can be used to beautify clothing and
things. For example, clothes, quilts, pillowcases etc. can be embroidered with beautiful designs,
or a piece of embroidery can be made for a special ornament.
There are four most famous types
of embroidery in China: Suxiu from Suzhou, Yuexiu from Guangdong, Xiangxiu from Hunan, and
Shuxiu from Sichuan, each having its own style and theme. Among the four, Suzhou embroidery has enjoyed the highest reputation.
