Manchu embroidery, also known as Bohai Mohe embroidery, is an ethnic tradition deeply rooted in the heritage of Mudanjiang, located in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. With a history spanning over 1,300 years, this art form traces its origins to the Mohe people, the ancestors of the Manchu ethnic group during the ancient Bohai Kingdom, a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
This national intangible cultural heritage reflects the bold and expansive character of the northern people. The embroidery is known for its intricate craftsmanship, vibrant colors, and lifelike scenery, earning it the reputation of being the "oil painting of embroidery."
