Sichuan embroidery, as one of the traditional Chinese embroidery techniques, shines brightly in the long river of history with its exquisite skills, unique style and profound cultural connotation.
The history of Sichuan embroidery can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when Sichuan was already popular with embroidery. With the passage of time, Sichuan embroidery has continued to develop and improve in skills and style, and gradually formed its own unique artistic characteristics.
Sichuan embroidery uses soft satin and colored silk as the main raw materials, and has a variety of needlework, including 122 types of 12 categories such as halo needle, rolling needle, cutting needle, and mixed needle. These needleworks cooperate with each other, making the works of Sichuan embroidery delicate, smooth, bright, and colorful. Sichuan embroidery covers a wide range of themes, covering many fields such as flowers and birds, figures, and landscapes. Whether it is exquisite flower and bird patterns or vivid figures, they can be vividly displayed under the needle of Sichuan embroidery artists.
The production process of Sichuan embroidery is extremely complicated, requiring artists to have superb skills and patience. From designing patterns, selecting silk threads to embroidery production, every link needs to be carefully crafted. With their skillful hands and keen artistic perception, artists weave silk threads on silk to create beautiful works.
Sichuan embroidery is not only an art form, but also an important carrier of Sichuan culture. It reflects the living customs, aesthetic tastes and spiritual pursuits of the Sichuan people. Each piece of Sichuan embroidery contains the artist's love for life and persistent pursuit of beauty, conveying the unique cultural charm of Sichuan.
