Women all over Cixi have a tradition of embroidery. In 1930s and 1940s, the bride's dowry was equipped with an embroidery frame and an embroidery sewing kit. People love to wear embroidered shoes, embroidered clothes, embroidered pillows, embroidered quilts and embroidered door curtains. Color embroidery can be seen everywhere. After the founding of New China, women participated in social work, people advocated simplicity, and the embroidery industry gradually cooled down.

Driven by the market economy, Sanbei Town of Cixi City grasps the international market demand and gives full play to its traditional advantages. Many farmers introduced technology and equipment and set up embroidery workshops. More than 95% of embroidery products are sold abroad, and the embroidery industry has become one of the three pillar industries in Sanbei Town. In 200 1 year, the annual output value of embroidery products was 654.38 billion yuan, and the profit was 654.38 billion yuan.

Embroidery from Sanbei has a novel composition and a wide range of subjects. In addition to traditional themes such as butterfly Qi Fei, mandarin ducks playing in the water, birds in the flowers and immortals in the clouds, they also created pictures and decorations that foreigners like, some of which are accompanied by English letters. Due to the exquisite craftsmanship of the people of the Three North and the help of advanced equipment, the embroidery of the Three North is exquisite and deeply loved by people at home and abroad.

Sanbei embroidery has great development potential and good momentum, which has alarmed Sanbei Credit Union. The agency set up the "embroidery loan", which provided more than 6 million yuan in loans to embroidery households in 200 1 year. It not only helps local economic development, but also opens up an important source of customers for credit cooperatives. Sanbei embroidery is really "hidden in the boudoir and nowhere to be found" Today, a smile is worth $1,000 ",which is worthy of being a proud work of art in Cixi.
