Embroidery（刺繡） is an important art form in Chinese culture.In the past，people embroider on handkerchiefs，bed covers，tablecloths and dresses.Girls would embroider on a sachet（香囊） as a gift for their lovers.
    The oldest embroidered products in China on record dates from the Shang Dynasty.An that time it was a symbol of social status（地位）.As the national economy developed，the embroidery entered the lives of the common people.The most famous embroidery styles are Su embroidery from Suzhou，Shu embroidery from Sichuan，Xiang embroidery from Hunan，and Yue embroidery from Guangdong.
    Su embroidery is the oldest of the four.It dates back to the Han Dynasty（206 BC - 220 AD）.It is known for its smooth needlework（針線） and beautiful colors.People sold it to other countries through the South Silk Road.It used to be a fashion item in ancient Rome.In the Qing Dynasty，Su embroidery experienced further developments — works of double-sided embroidery came out.
    Embroidery takes time and patience. It might take as long as a whole day to finish just 10 cm of embroidery.By the 1970s，Sichuan had as many as 5，000 embroiderers.But since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery products today，fewer people buy handmade Shu embroidery products.To protect the skill，Shu embroidery was added to China's intangible cultural heritage list（非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)名錄） in 2006.
