Why is embroidery a cultural symbol of our country?

Embroidery is one of the traditional folk handicrafts in China, which has a history of at least two or three thousand years in China. Chinese embroidery mainly includes Su embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Shu embroidery and Yue embroidery. The uses of embroidery mainly include life and artistic decoration, such as clothing, bedding, tablecloth, stage and artwork decoration. Embroidery has been handed down from generation to generation in Weinan and spread all over the city. There are hundreds of different colors. With the changes of the times, the content of rural products has also been updated. At the same time, some traditional embroidery has also entered the foreign trade market. Since the Han Dynasty, embroidery has gradually become a boudoir stunt, and famous embroidery workers have also occupied a place in the history of art. Before the Tang Dynasty, embroidery was mostly used for practical and decorative purposes, and its content was related to the needs and customs of life. Embroidery works in Song Dynasty are not only practical products, but also devoted to embroidery. Since the Jin and Tang Dynasties, literati loved calligraphy and applied it to painting. Calligraphy and painting was the highest artistic expression at that time. When it came to silk embroidery in Song Dynasty, the style of calligraphy and painting directly affected the style of embroidery. Embroidery painting should be closely related to the paintings of all ages up to the Qing Dynasty. Shen Shou, a modern embroidery artist, not only has superb embroidery skills, but also sorts out the embroidery stitches of past dynasties, inherits the traditional skills of Gu embroidery and Su embroidery, and refers to the expression methods of western sketch, oil painting and photography to create scattered needles and rotating needles to express the light and shade of objects. Her Embroidered Portrait of the Italian Emperor was exhibited at the China Arts and Crafts Association of the World Expo in Dulan, Italy, and won the highest award for excellence in the world. Folk customs provide opportunities and conditions for Lingbao folk embroidery to fully display women's hard work and wisdom (weddings, funerals and major festivals). In other words, folk embroidery endows local folk customs with a beautiful and mysterious color.
