Shaping is the birthplace of Hunan embroidery and the hometown of Hunan embroidery in China. It is located in Kaifu District, Changsha City, Hunan Province. · Hunan embroidery has a long history. From the large number of embroidery products unearthed from the Chu Tombs of the Warring States Period in Changsha and the Western Han Dynasty Tomb of Mawangdui, we can see that the local embroidery skills in Hunan at that time had reached an astonishing level.
