Makers use silk thread to build pictures on a fabric ground. The tradition is known for smooth transitions of color and for techniques that suggest the direction and texture of animal fur.<sup>[1][2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Materials:<\/strong> Silk can be divided into finer strands for detailed work.<sup>[1]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<li><strong>Appearance:<\/strong> Stitch length, direction and color affect how a surface looks in the light.<sup>[1][2]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<li><strong>Subjects:<\/strong> Documented examples include portraits, birds and flowers as well as tigers and lions.<sup>[1][2]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">The national heritage listing for Xiang embroidery in Changsha dates to 2006.<sup>[1]<\/sup> <\/p><\/section>\n<figure class=\"tcjdi-infographic\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;margin:24px auto;text-align:center\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Xiang-embroidery-infographic-on-Changsha-split-silk-and-fur-stitches.webp\" alt=\"Xiang embroidery infographic on Changsha split silk and fur stitches\" title=\"Xiang embroidery infographic on Changsha split silk and fur stitches\" width=\"1440\" height=\"2560\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;height:auto;margin:0 auto\" \/><figcaption>Xiang embroidery infographic on Changsha split silk and fur stitches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">In an embroidered tiger&#8217;s face, the stitches do different work around the eyes and the muzzle. The fur can grow outward around the eyes, lie close against the muzzle and flare in longer strands at the cheeks. A maker can suggest these changes by varying stitch direction and length.<\/p>\n<h2>How Split Silk and Stitches Build Texture<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Split silk lets a maker fit fine strands into a narrow area and intersperse related colors. The Changsha heritage entry describes blending stitches that help show shadow, light and gradual changes in tone. Neighboring shades can meet over several rows instead of changing along a single hard boundary. These effects also help explain the relationship between needlework and painting in the wider guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/chinese-embroidery\/\">Chinese embroidery<\/a>.<sup>[1]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The fur stitch (\u9b05\u6bdb\u9488, p\u00e9ngm\u00e1ozh\u0113n) is associated with the work of Yu Zhenhui and makers who learned from him. Shorter and longer threads can follow the visible direction of the animal&#8217;s coat. In a close view, the way the stitches turn around an eye or the muzzle can tell you more about the method than the subject alone.<sup>[1][2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>Changsha&#8217;s Workshop Tradition<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Excavated objects show that embroidery was made and used in the Changsha area long before the named school formed. The Hunan Museum holds a Western Han padded robe with longevity embroidery on crimson-purple plain-weave silk, excavated from Mawangdui Tomb 1 in 1972. This is evidence of early Hunan textiles. The Changsha heritage entry places the formation of the distinct Xiang style in the late Qing.<sup>[1][3]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The same entry records that Hu Lianxian opened the Wu Caixia embroidery shop in Changsha in 1898 and taught the blending method associated with Li Yihui. The shop was a place where apprentices could learn the method from a working maker. The workshop structure later changed. The national entry traces the Hunan Provincial Xiang Embroidery Research Institute back to the provincial factory, which became the institute in 1979.<sup>[1]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>From Pictorial Embroidery to Fur Studies<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Changsha makers worked from many kinds of image. The heritage account records Liao Jiahui&#8217;s embroidered portrait of Wu Peifu&#8217;s mother and identifies the Shanghai Museum as its collection. It also describes a portrait of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt made by a Changsha shop and exhibited in Chicago in 1933. The portrait format gave the maker a reason to concentrate detail in the face. Small shifts of color can render light and shadow across the skin. In a fur study, a change in the direction of silk can carry much of that detail.<sup>[1]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Liu Aiyun learned under Yu Zhenhui and made works titled Tiger Drinking Water and Male Lion. She also recorded her techniques and taught younger embroiderers. Her profile lists work with figures, flowers and birds in addition to animal studies. These subjects overlap with those in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/shu-embroidery\/\">Shu embroidery<\/a> and other regional traditions. A specific maker, object or workshop is a stronger starting point than a shared motif.<sup>[2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>FAQs About Xiang Embroidery<\/h2>\n<h3>Was Xiang embroidery found at Mawangdui?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Mawangdui yielded Western Han embroidery from the Changsha area. The named Xiang style described by the national heritage entry took shape much later, in the late Qing.<sup>[1][3]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h3>Does every Xiang piece depict a tiger or lion?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">No. Portraits, birds, flowers and other images are also documented. Lions and tigers are especially useful examples of how a maker can depict fur.<sup>[1][2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h3>Is Xiang embroidery always double-sided?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Double-sided work is one documented format. A catalogue can say whether a particular piece was finished and designed for viewing on both faces.<sup>[1]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">[1] China Intangible Cultural Heritage
