Embroidery is the embellishment of a fabric, leather, paper or other materials by
sewing of designs worked in thread with a needle. Xia Bu embroidery is a handcrafted art that combines Xia Bu art and embroidery art, blends the natural texture
of Xia Bu with simple lines in a limited space.
Each embroidered piece from Master Zhang Xiao Hong brings mountains, rivers
and animals to life. The skilful needles, simple natural Xia Bu and strong lasting
quality draw luxury into a living space: her embroideries can be framed as an art, or
add to shades of lamps, front of bags, or top of pillows and curtains (Photos 12 and 13).
