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.

漢繡源於楚國（湖北）和從荊沙傳到武漢。由楚文化着色，漢繡的特點是濃豔的色彩搭配大膽的圖案和誇張的技巧。漢繡在清朝中後期達到鼎盛並獲得國際博覽會和比賽的金牌。繡品街成立於漢口大興路，有近40個商店。隨着美國飛機轟炸附近的日本雜誌，織工逃離，繡品街摧毀。
