Cantonese embroidery has been circulating for more than 1000 years. Du Yang Zapian in the Tang Dynasty first described the exquisite skills of Cantonese embroidery: "During Yongzhenyuan's reign, Nanhai Gongqi's female eyebrow mother was fourteen years old, and her skills were superb. She could embroider seven rolls of Hokkekyo on a foot of silk. The size of the word is not more than Xiaomi, but it is clearly divided, as thin as hair, and her titles and sentences are intact. It is better to be a flying fairy, and the cover is divided into three strands with silk hooks and dyed into five colors ... "By the Ming Dynasty, Guangdong embroidery had become one of the important handicrafts in Guangzhou. In the ninth year of the Ming Dynasty (15 14), a Portuguese businessman bought an embroidered robe in Guangzhou and returned to China to present it to the king, and received a generous reward. Since then, Guangzhou embroidery has become famous overseas. Queen Elizabeth I admired China's gold thread and silver embroidery very much, and advocated the establishment of the British Embroidery Trade Association, organized the Royal Embroidery Workshop in the form of a wide embroidery workshop, and imported silk and silk thread from China to process and embroider aristocratic costumes. King Charles I of England advocated spreading the art of Cantonese embroidery in the British Isles. Guangdong embroidery is praised by western scholars as "a gift from China to the West" and is collected by museums in Britain, France, Germany and the United States. In the early Qing dynasty, the British took their clothes to Guangzhou embroidery workshop for processing. Since then, Guangdong embroidery has obviously absorbed the artistic style of western painting, and has become a more commercialized and practical embroidery variety than other regions, and has developed rapidly in foreign trade. Wende Road Wende Road used to be the cultural and educational center of Guangzhou. It has always been a place of academic interest. In Four Treasures of the Study, mounting calligraphy and painting, selling antiques, books and shops are lined up. Scholars often come to search for various rare books. At present, there are still several embroidery shops filled with embroidery works of various styles. Through this window, traditional embroidery works of art go to the market.

In the middle of Qing Dynasty, due to the prosperity of Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera, new varieties of Cantonese opera costumes were added to Cantonese embroidery. At that time, the costumes made by Guangzhou Zhuangyuanfang were very famous in China, and even the court troupe came here to customize them. There are embroidery workshops processing Cantonese opera costumes everywhere in Zhuangyuan Square, which has become a famous "embroidery street" at home and abroad. Guangzhou embroidery industry has achieved success, and the skills of Guangzhou embroidery artists have reached a very high level. They can skillfully use wool embroidery, creatively use peacock hair and ponytail as thread and lace, and embroider with gold thread and silver thread. There is a narrow alley paved with bluestone slabs beside Renmin South Road in Zhuangyuanfang, Guangzhou, which is called "the most famous fashion center in Guangzhou" and "the shopping paradise for young people". This ancient inner street has a history of more than 700 years and is named after the former residence of Zhang, the champion of the Song Dynasty. Now, the champion has been buried in the pile of old paper, but the alley still shines with touching brilliance. Dozens of dollars of fashionable clothes, several dollars of cartoon dolls, Tibetan ornaments with popular elements, lively and lovely pets and affordable and attractive snacks all attract young people who are pursuing fashion.
