Chinese Embroidery
|
Embroidery is a very long
established art form in China. It was never classified as a
solely female activity and men and women have both been involved
in embroidery. The items embroidered are quite diverse and
include robes, theatrical costumes, purses, shoes, spectacle
cases, banners, alter cloths and many other pieces. Some of the
pieces were so finely stitched that the pieces took 5-6 people
several years to complete. Embroidery was also used as a means
of decorating silk clothing and for silk flags and banners as a
means of denoting rank or station. The finest pieces of work
were very expensive. Gradually, embroidery developed, as a
pastime for wealthy ladies and many members of the court were
renowned for their intricate work.
According to the Chinese there are two main divisions of
embroidery, “chih wen” and “tuan chen”. “Chih wen”
uses the long and short stitch, while “tuan chen” involves
the seed stitch used in Beijing which is also known as the
French knot. The stitches most commonly used by the Chinese
include 1) satin stitch – which is further classified into
long and short 2) Beijing stitch or French knot 3) Stem stitch;
4) Couching; 5) Chain stitch; and 6) Split stitch. All of these
stitches are known in the west. Many westerners find Chinese
embroidery a little over done. The Chinese satin stitch when
done to perfection is exquisite in its fine detail. The use of
gold thread for the French knot, for which the Chinese have a
special gift, is characteristic of their work. Sometimes even
such light material as gauze and paper were embroidered to
demonstrate the fineness of the work.
It is difficult to be precise as to when embroidery first was
practiced in China but based on archeological excavations of
tombs it at least dates back to the early Han dynasty which
based itself near Lake Baikal in the early second century B.C.
Many Tang embroideries continue to be preserved both in China
and in Japan. One of the most famous representations of the
embroiders’ artistry is the piece that came from the Thousand
Buddhas at Tun Huang and that dates from the tenth Century.
There are also many fine pieces of embroidery from the Sung
dynasty. We know from historical records that the Sung Emperor
Hui Tsung (1101-1126) established an embroidery bureau called
the “Wen Hsiu Yuan”. It also is well known that many of the
finest pieces were copied in the Ming and Ching period and it is
therefore difficult to definitely attribute many of these
pieces.
Chinese Literature records the names of many famous embroidery
artists. Among these are Kuan Fu-jen, the wife of the painter
Chao Meng-fu and the ladies of the Ku family in Shanghai such as
Ku Shou-ch’ien who worked their artistry in Ming times. The
painters Tung ch’i-ch’ang and Wen Cheng-ming and more
recently Sh’en Chou who died in 1910 are all considered great
embroiders.
