HISTORY OF TRADITIONAL PICTURES HAND EMBROIDERY
Embroidery is a traditional handicraft that has existed in Vietnam for quite some time. Inherently, the history of this traditional work is closely connected to the past spiritual history of the Vietnamese people.
Since the 1st century, aside from the flag embroidered with “Requite our debt to the country and avenge our native land” by the Trưng Sisters’ armed uprising, the Vietnamese people had used embroidery to decorate their home and to display beauty and confidence expressions.

However, up until now, nobody knows when the Vietnamese embroidery art was born? Who is the first person who had created and changed the normal sewing work into embroidery art?
Legend has it that, at the beginning of the 17th century, the Vietnamese embroidery art development had crossed a turning point. At that time, Mr. Le Cong Hanh (1606 – 1661) from Quat Dong Hamlet, Quat Dong Village, Thương Tín District, Hà Tây Province had collected the experiences and techniques of Vietnamese folk embroidery to popularize this handicraft.
During the feudal periods, embroidery was one of services provided to the royal and aristocratic circles. Embroidery product was created from fabrics made by Vietnamese craftsperson. At that time, the threads used for embroidery include natural dyes, such as “Tinctorial yam, Indigo, Indian almond pod, paletuvier water, leaves of phrynium, grinstone, flamboyant…” Many foreigners have admired the Vietnamese embroidery products. “After seeing the threads in dyes that looked dirty and ugly, it was quite amazing to see their transformation when the tinting process was over”.

Traditionally, embroidery had been done by Vietnamese women according to Confucian concept that girls must acquire four virtues: “Labor – Appearance – Speech – Behavior”. As the old saying goes:
“Men read books and recite poems, women embroider and sew.”
Most Vietnamese women from all over the country know how to embroider. However, professional embroiderers are often concentrated in Huế, the capital of the Nguyễn dynasty, There, Lady Hoàng Thị Cúc, Emperor Bảo Đại’s mother, and Queen Nam Phương had combined the advantages of European embroidery techniques with the quintessence of Asian embroidery art to elevate it to the royal level, reflecting Huế’s women charming and meticulous characters.

Gabrielle, a French scholar specializing oriental culture studies, wrote “In many places, people have transmitted through generations, an extraordinary art by painting in threads, making lotus flower bloom on silk, butterflies hover on blue water surface. Vietnamese embroiderers are more skillful than the Chinese in their use of sewing with fine threads and their color mixing methods…”
Hocquard, an author, said about the embroidery at the end of 19th century: “The Vietnamese embroiderers were very clever in distributing color on silk to create the harmonious embroidered pieces without any contrast.”
Centuries passed by, the embroidery art went up and down but it kept the national cultural character.
