When it comes to the four famous embroideries in China, most people can still name Suzhou embroidery and Hunan embroidery, but when it comes to the eight famous embroideries, most people can't say why. Lu embroidery is a local pearl forgotten by many people in the long river of Chinese embroidery culture.

In fact, Lu embroidery originated far earlier than the four famous embroidery. It is a very ancient handicraft with a history of more than two thousand years. It is a typical representative of local culture in Shandong Province and one of the eight famous embroidery in China.

"On Heng" in the words: "Qi county world embroidery, Hengnu can not, Xiangyi vulgar brocade, Hengnu no uncoincidence, day by day and hand aphands also." Lu embroidery has a long history.

After the prosperity of the Qin and Han Dynasties, wars broke out in the Tang and Song dynasties, the production areas of silkworms were destroyed, people's living standards were damaged, and the economic development of the whole society was also stalled, and the development of Lu embroidery was also stalled. However, in 1974, during the excavation of a Yuan Dynasty Li Yu 'an tomb, Lu embroidery remains were found. Nowadays, Lu embroidery, such as Travel Map of Wenchang, Lotus Double Ducks and Lotus Yuanyang, are collected in the Palace Museum. The charm of Lu embroidery is still shining today.

Lu embroidery is not a simple handicraft. It carries the cultural connotation of the place and people, and the historical changes. It spreads people's ideas and ideas in each piece of work, and spreads the tradition and history far and wide.

First of all, Lu embroidery carries the local characteristics of emphasizing ethics, emphasizing innovation, emphasizing utility and respecting tradition, and provides a material carrier for the traditional culture of Qi and Lu with a rich and profound history. For example, the traditional social structure of "men farming and women weaving". Women gather together, in a kind is called "support child" on embroider shelf fly a needle, embroider needle shuttle is in this plane area, the embroider of lifelike, beautiful and auspicious article jumps like cloth face. It shows the local People's Daily production and labor and life style, and shows the harmony between man and society, and the coexistence between man and nature.

Secondly, the traditional culture is not immutable. In the constant beating of The Times, Lu embroidery also finds a way to survive. The theme selection is not limited to the traditional copy of flowers and birds, but also focuses on the national feelings.

When it was displayed in the Shandong Hall of the Great Hall of the People, it was highly praised by Premier Zhou with deep feeling. In 1965, the embroidery work of 600 Million Shenzhou Jishunyao was completed by 32 embroiders who spent 6,000 hours together. It is the work with the largest number of participants, the most complete needlework and the most complex content in the history of Lu embroidery. However, the traditional pattern forms in "Lu embroidery", which experienced the Cultural Revolution, have disappeared and been replaced by some thriving themes that extol the motherland and the Party, raising Lu embroidery to a new level.Lu embroidery is not a simple handicraft.

Finally, Lu embroidery embodies Confucianism. The core of Confucianism is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and sincerity, which are reflected in the patterns of Lu embroidery. However, the etiquette system is the most prominent in Lu embroidery works. Confucius said, "You can't see people without wearing ornaments." Influenced by the Confucian thoughts of "advocating ethical education, achieving enlightenment and helping human relations", many embroidery works in traditional Lu embroidery have the idea of harmony. A large number of patterns used in Lu embroidery are also designed to extend folk beliefs and customs, showing a very distinct personality and regional characteristics of the land of Qilu.

As a traditional folk handicraft, Lu embroidery is not only a part of the culture of Qi and Lu, but also an important part of the embroidery culture of the Chinese nation. It carries forward the culture of Lu embroidery, but also carries forward and spreads the national culture.
