Xiang Embroidery(湘 绣)
Xiang embroidery is well known for its time-honored history, excellent craftsmanship and unique style. The earliest piece of Xiang embroidery was unearthed at the No 1 Tomb of Mawangdui, Changsha City of the Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220). The weaving technique was almost the same as the one used in modern times, which demonstrated that embroidery had already existed in the Han Dynasty.
作为中国四大名绣之一的湘绣,向来以历史悠久,工艺精湛,风格独特而闻名海内外。迄今为止发现的最早的湘绣制品,是长沙马王堆一号汉代(公元前206年~公元220年)墓葬出土的一件丝织品,它所使用的针法与现代湘绣所差无几,说明早在两千多年前的汉代,湘绣工艺就已经产生了。
