刺绣俗称“绣花”，即用绣针引彩线，在织物上绣成纹样或文字的一种传统手工艺。刺绣随着丝织品的产生与发展逐渐兴起。刺绣针法共有几十种，采用不同的针法会有不同的线条组织和独特的艺术表现效果。据记载，4000多年前就有在衣裳上绘画和刺绣的做法。在河南发现的商代刺绣实物，是中国现存最早的刺绣工艺品，已经达到相当高的工艺水平。刺绣在宋代达到高峰，宋徽宗（1082—1135）时期将书画艺术融入刺绣工艺之中，形成独特的观赏性刺绣作品。Embroidery, also known as “needlework,” is a traditional handicraft that involves using a needle and colorful threads to create patterns or characters on fabric. This craft became popular alongside the production and development of silk fabrics. There are many different techniques used in embroidery, with dozens of needlework styles available, each producing its own unique stitching and artistic effects. Records show that over 4,000 years ago, people were already painting and embroidering on clothing. The earliest surviving examples of Chinese embroidery are from the Shang Dynasty (1600- 1046 B.C.) and were discovered in Henan Province; they display a high level of craftsmanship. During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), especially during the reign of Emperor Huizong (1082-1135), embroidery reached its pinnacle when calligraphy and painting were fused with embroidery to create unique ornamental works.
