Gu embroidery is more a family style than a local style and originated from Gu Mingshi's family during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) in Shanghai. Unlike other styles, Gu embroidery specializes in painting and calligraphy. Its inventor was a concubine of Gu Mingshi's first son, Gu Huihai. Today Gu embroidery is a special local product in Shanghai.

The Gu Embroidery Experience Hall in Songjiang district is a good place to admire this marvellous intangible cultural heritage.
