中國是世界上第一個發現蠶絲并且很好地運用它的國家,這給中國刺繡的發展做出了貢獻。大約5 000年前,為了加工絲制品。人們開始大量養殖桑蠶。
古代的四川平原西部是一個盛產桑蠶的地域。刺繡產業漸漸在當地繁榮起來,最終蜀繡形成了一定規模。蜀繡制品主要分為兩種:裝飾物品和實用物品。在過去,蜀繡制品只是在家中或是小作坊里被制作,受限于惡劣的工作條件。當時只有少量的種類、樣式和技藝。如今。刺繡工人們在工廠中一起工作,這極大地提高了生產效率,同時也振興了當地的經濟。
China is the first country in the world to discover silk and make good use of it, which made great contributions to the development of Chinese embroidery. Almost 5 000 years ago, people started to raise silkworm in great amount for the silk products.
The ancient Western Sichuan Plain was an area thriving in silkworm breeding. The embroidery business gradually flourished among the folks there, and Sichuan embroidery business finally formed a considerable scale. There are two types of Sichuan embroidery articles; articles for decoration and articles for use. In the past, Sichuan embroidery articles were made at home or in small workshops. There were only a few diversities, patterns and techniques due to the poor working condition. Today, the embroidery handicraftsmen work together at mills, which has highly increased the production efficiency and boosted the local economy as well.
