Shu embroidery boasts a long history, dating back to the Sanxingdui civilization. Originating from Sichuan folk art, it is now primarily divided into two major schools: Western Sichuan (Chengdu) and Eastern Sichuan (Chongqing). Alongside Su embroidery, Xiang embroidery, and Yue embroidery, it is recognized as one of China's four great embroideries. People often describe Shu embroidery and Shu brocade as "treasures of Sichuan." During the Han Dynasty, the position of "Brocade Official" was established in Chengdu to oversee Shu embroidery and Shu brocade. Shu embroidery sprouted from the wisdom and creativity of ancestors during the ancient Shu period. By the Three Kingdoms era, Shu embroidery had become highly valuable, even exchangeable for precious goods.
