Tea Chapter is more than a place for tea appreciation.
Tea Chapter is a hub where the Chinese tradition culture is kept alive.
Hence, recently, Tea Chapter held a Chinese Embroidery Art Exhibit.
Chinese embroidery refers to embroidery created by any of the cultures located in the area that makes up modern China. It is some of the oldest extant needlework. The four major regional styles of Chinese embroidery are Suzhou embroidery (Su Xiu), Hunan embroidery (Xiang Xiu), Guangdong embroidery (Yue Xiu) and Sichuan embroidery (Shu Xiu). All of them are nominated as ChineseIntangible Cultural Heritage.

What is so special about Chinese Embroidery is that it involves a technique in which stitching takes place on both sides of a single transparent silk fabric. The design shows on both sides (front and reverse). The embroidery artists skillfully hide all the loose threads and knots. Such a piece is normally mounted on a wooden frame as a screen. One really can't tell which side is the front or the back.
