Bian Embroidery was mainly used by the royal family so it was also known as Court Embroidery or Official Embroidery. The style was exquisite,precise and elegant to match the demeanor of the royal family. However,with the collapse of the dynasty,Bian Embroidery collapsed, too.

Han Embroidery originated from Chu (Hubei Province) and flew to Wuhan from Jingzhou and Shashi. Tinted by the Chu Culture,Han Embroidery is characterized by a rich and gaudy color with bold patterns and exaggerated techniques. Han Embroidery came to its heyday in the middle and later Qing Dynasty and obtained golden medals in international expos and competitions. Embroidery Street was formed in Daxing Road,Hankou,with nearly 40 workshops engaged in it. Bombing by the American planes of a Japanese magazine nearby destroyed the street as weavers fled.
汉绣源于楚国（湖北）和从荆沙传到武汉。由楚文化着色，汉绣的特点是浓艳的色彩搭配大胆的图案和夸张的技巧。汉绣在清朝中后期达到鼎盛并获得国际博览会和比赛的金牌。绣品街成立于汉口大兴路，有近40个商店。随着美国飞机轰炸附近的日本杂志，织工逃离，绣品街摧毁。
