The history of Guangzhou embroidery

Canton embroidery originated in the Tang Dynasty, and has been widely used in embroidery in the Song Dynasty.

By the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Guang embroidery was widely disseminated along with the exchange of commodity trade.

In 1514, the works of Guang embroidery were purchased and brought back to Europe by Portuguese in Guangzhou, and became popular with the king, and became famous overseas handicrafts since then.

In the early Qing Dynasty, British businessmen took the pattern of clothing to the embroidery shop in Guangzhou for processing.

Because the pattern is the western oil painting style, since then, Guang embroidery works have absorbed the realistic characteristics of Western art, and become a folk handicraft art with local characteristics different from other regional embroidery works.

At the same time, because Guang embroidery has a far seeing atmosphere and a fine look, it has ushered in its heyday in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the works of Guang embroidery were presented with a hundred flowers.

But after the Japanese occupation of Guangzhou in 1983, Guang embroidery artists changed their lives to make a living.

Although the government organized artists to restore the industry after liberation, they could no longer return to the splendor of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
