Other forms

In addition to Tujia brocade, other forms of local arts and crafts have developed with times, although their traditional essence has been preserved.

The Xiangxiu style has a history of more than a thousand years as one of China's four major traditional embroideries. Today Xiangxiu inheritors are working on developing and designing more new techniques and products.

Chrysanthemum stone carving is a unique craft in Liuyang city of eastern Hunan that features sophisticated craftsmanship and a high value for collectors.

In 1915, a local chrysanthemum stone carving received a golden award at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
