Shu embroidery

Shu embroidery, a popular folk craft in Bashu area, is divided into two schools in western Sichuan and eastern Sichuan (today's Chongqing), and is a product of China's national geographical indications.

Shu embroidery, also known as "Sichuan embroidery", is one of the four famous embroideries in China, along with Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery and Guangdong embroidery. Shu embroidery is a traditional Chinese technique in which silk thread is used to embroider patterned patterns on silk or other fabrics. As one of the most enduring types of embroidery in China, Shu embroidery has formed its own unique charm with its bright and elegant colors and exquisite stitching, ranking first among the four famous embroideries in terms of richness.

Shu embroidery has a long history and can be traced back to Sanxingdui civilization. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shu embroidery has been called "the treasure of Shu". The main raw materials of Shu embroidery are soft satin and colored silk, and 122 kinds of stitches are included in 12 categories. It has the characteristics of rigorous stitching, flush stitching, rich changes, vivid image and full three-dimensional sense.
