Introduction to Han Embroidery

Applicant: Hanjiang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province

Han Embroidery is a traditional embroidery art popular in Jingsha, Wuhan and Honghu areas of Hubei Province. According to historical records, it began in Han Dynasty, flourished in Tang Dynasty and flourished in Qing Dynasty. As a place of ancient Chu, the special geographical environment of Wuhan provides cultural soil for the development of Han Embroidery. Xiulin town in Shishou City, xiuhuadi town in Fengkou town in Honghu City and xiuhuajie street in Hankou city are all named after the concentration of embroidery. Han Embroidery was based on Chu embroidery and combined the advantages of North and South embroidery methods. It gradually formed an embroidery art system with shop, press, weave, lock, buckle, plate and cover as the main needling methods and Pingjin Jiaxiu as the main form of expression. Han Embroidery emphasizes that "flowers have no fruit, lively is the first". Generally, embroidery starts from the outside, and goes inward layer by layer until the embroidery surface is covered. According to the different texture and pattern of embroidery, it is necessary to flexibly use various needling methods, so as to make sure that the stitching is done decisively, pay attention to the neat edge of the pattern, that is, the "neat stitch", and pay attention to the layered and three-dimensional sense of layered broken color. Han Embroidery is bold in conception, rich in color, rich in pictures and strong in decoration. It shows the charm of Chu style everywhere, and is unique in the Chinese embroidery garden.
