Chinese embroidery refers to embroidery created by any of the cultures located in the area that makes up modern China. It is some of the oldest extant needlework. The four major regional styles of Chinese embroidery are Suzhou embroidery (Su Xiu), Hunan embroidery (Xiang Xiu), Guangdong embroidery (Yue Xiu), and Sichuan embroidery (Shu Xiu). All of them are nominated as Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage.
After the liberation, China applied oil paintings, Chinese paintings, photographs, and other art forms to embroidery, giving it the wonderful effect of being a painting from a distance and embroidery from the ground up. The use of embroidery products also expanded further, from theatrical costumes to pillowcases, tablecloths, screens, wall hangings, and daily wear, etc. Chinese embroidery is often given as a gift to family and friends because it often has a good meaning.
