Cantonese Embroidery
Basic Introduction to Cantonese EmbroideryCantonese embroidery, one of the four famous embroidery styles in China, historically referred to embroidery products from Guangzhou, Foshan, Nanhai, Panyu, Shunde, and other areas—specifically, embroidery crafts from the Guangfu region. This includes embroidered paintings, theatrical costumes, beaded embroidery, and more. Product CharacteristicsCantonese embroidery works share a common feature: they are striking from afar and exquisitely detailed up close. In the early Qing Dynasty, British merchants brought clothing designs to Guangzhou workshops for embroidery. As these designs were in the Western oil painting style, embroiderers increased the variety of threads and improved their techniques to make the embroidery lifelike, enhancing the expressiveness of the embroidery and improving the skills of Cantonese embroidery. Techniques included twisting peacock feathers into thread and wrapping horsehair around yarn to create outlines. When British merchants brought designs to Guangzhou for embroidery, Cantonese embroidery absorbed the artistic style of Western oil painting, using perspective and principles of light reflection to enrich the design palette and expressiveness of the embroidery. These embroidered items were widely used in interior decoration and daily clothing. The mid-Qing Dynasty was the heyday of Cantonese embroidery exports; large embroidered paintings were taxed at 1.2 taels of silver, indicating… -
