Embroidery — Chinese Traditional Handicraft Art
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.
In some Chinese folk places, embroidery is very popular among people. Different areas have different embroidery styles, and some tend to dainty, elegant and strict, but some show simple and nature. We usually see this art mainly from cloth, decoration or some other sacrifice goods.
There will be embroidered with different patterns in different part of cloth, such as the cuff of shirt are usually decorated with the safe, lucky or RuYi patterns; collar is mostly embroidered lucky cloud or floral patterns. People also like to embroider patterns on bellyband, shoes, bib, hat or insole. With the development of the people’s imagination, embroidery has already developed more.
