Also called Chuan embroidery, Shu embroidery is the general name for embroidery found in areas around Chengdu, Sichuan Province. Since the Western Chuan Plain was prosperous because of its thriving silkworm-breeding industry in ancient times, the area was also called the Shu State - l "Shu" in Chinese literally means 'worms'. Later Shu became the shortened form for Sichuan.
Shu embroidery enjoys a long history. As early as in the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), the silk products in the Shu area had been exported to the Thai capital. The art of Shu embroidery developed with the prosperity of the silk business in the Shu area.
