The so-called embroidery art is a traditional outstanding handicraft in China. And now, the Yangzhou embroidery has been already approved to the provincial non-material cultural heritage protection list in 2006 by the local government.
Embroidery is actually a decorative fabric which should thread the silk or other fiber with a needle to the embroidery material (the basic cloth) in accordance with a certain pattern and color. It looks very simple, but a good embroidery product should take long time on embroidering it with people’s hands.
