What is Xiang embroidery? What is its development history?
Xiang embroidery is the general name of embroidery products centered on Changsha, which is spread all over the country with exquisite works. Tian Zibing said in the History of Dyeing and Weaving in China: "In the past, it was generally believed that the history of Xiang embroidery was founded in the late Qing Dynasty and came out at the latest. However, since 1972, the exquisite embroidery of Han Dynasty unearthed from Mawangdui 1 tomb in Changsha, such as "Shousi embroidery", "Yunsi embroidery" and "Luo belief embroidery", has made people have a new understanding of its history. It can be said that Xiang embroidery is a unique embroidery system formed in the late Qing Dynasty.
