蜀绣起原于川西平原,因川西古称“蜀”,所以川西的刺绣称为“蜀绣”。 何谓“蜀”,许慎在《说文》中解释为“葵中蚕”。清代学者段玉裁在《荣县志》中说:“蚕以蜀为盛,故蜀曰蚕丛:蜀亦蚕也。”可见“蜀”就是蚕。古代的川西,正是因为种桑养蚕业发达,才被人称为“蜀国”或“蚕丛国”。有了发达的桑蚕业,丝织业也应运而生。《华阳国志·巴志》记 Shu embroidered from the original plain in western Sichuan, Sichuan called ancient “Shu”, so the embroidery in western Sichuan called “Shu embroidery.” What is meant by “Shu”, Xu Shen in “Said the text” is interpreted as “Kwai silkworm.” Duan Yu, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, said in Rong County Records: “Silkworms are abundant in Shu, so Shu said silkworms: Shu also silkworms.” Visible “Shu” is silkworm. Ancient Western Sichuan, precisely because of the development of sericulture sericulture, was called “Shu” or “silkworm Congguo.” With the development of silkworm industry, silk industry has emerged. “Huayang Guoshi · Chi Chi” mind
