The aged-old history of Hunan Embroidery dates back to over 2,000 years ago. A large number of embroidery works were unearthed from the Warring States' Chu Tomb and the West Han Dynasty's Mawangdui Tomb in changsha. They are eloquent evidences that the local embroidering art then had reached a marvelous standard. While based on traditional Chinese painting .Hunan Embroidery technicians have never hesitated to absorb the skills of western paintings. With nearly 100 different ways to handle the stitch and a whole spectrum of color threads, they have brought into full play the depiction power of needle work on various background materials, and succeeded in reproducing both the outer appearance and inner quality of an object. Due to its unique style, Hunan Embroidery won many awards nationwide and worldwide, and became one of the four most famous schools of Chinese Embroidery.
