Embroidery,

a

folk

art

with

a

long

tradition,

occupies

an

important

position

in

the

history

of

Chinese arts and crafts. It is, in its long development, inseparable from silkworm- raising and silk

reeling

and

weaving.

China

is

the

first

country

in

the

world

that

discovered

the

use

of

silk.

Silkworms were domesticated as early as 5000 years ago. The production of silk thread and fabrics

gave rise to the art of embroidery. Today, silk embroidery is practised nearly all over China. It is

generally

agreed

that

the

best

commercial

come

from

four

provinces:

Jiangsu

(notably

Suzhou), Hunan, Sichuan and Guangdong, each with its distinctive features.

then

skillfully

wielding

them.

Painters

produce

on

the

paper

heavy, and some light, and some deep, and some pale. In the hands of a good painter, brushes and

ink are not only tools for drawing pictures, but also the symbol of his or her artistic pursuit.
