PRESERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF TRADITIONAL HAND EMBROIDERY

Abstract

Traditional
hand
embroidery
is
the
beauty
of
the

elite
culture
of
the
nation.
Hand
embroidery

appeared
so
early,
from
the
time
of
the
Hung
King

with
simple
crossed
stitches
depicting
flowering

grass.
In
the
seventeenth
century,
Dr.
Le
Cong

Hanh
learned
the
technique
of
embroidery
and

passed
it
on
to
the
people
of
Quan
Dong
village

(Thuong
Tin,
Hanoi)
after
a
trip
to
China.
After

that,
the
hand
embroidery
spread
through
the

villages
and
throughout
the
country,
quickly

asserting
its
position
and
becoming
an
important

profession
in
the
old
society.
At
this
time,
hand‑
embroidered
products
mainly
costumed
embroidery

for
court
costumes
and
worship
products,
which

were
rarely
used
by
the
people.
Today,
hand

embroidery
products
play
an
important
role
in
the

fashion
industry
and
in
art,
the
traditional
hand‑
embroidered
products
are
diverse
and
rich
such
as꞉

embroidery,
worship,
fashion
products,
ornaments,

curtains,
portrait
embroidery...
The
pattern
of

embroidery
profession
transmission
in
recent
years

is
emphasized
and
applied
in
Middle
and
High

Schools.
