@Ephemform: the article Suzhou_embroidery says an alternate name for it is Shu xiu (苏绣). This article says "Sichuan embroidery, or Shu Xiu (蜀绣)". As you've pointed [1] out the characters are different but the romanization we use is very similar, and I think I got really confused. So now, I'm guessing that 绣 (Xiu) means embroidery, 苏 means Su and refers to what we call Suzhou and 蜀 means Shu, which refers to what we call Sichuan Province. Is that right? Is it correct then to refer to one style as Suzhou embroidery, Su embroidery or Su xiu (苏绣) and the other as Sichuan embroidery, Shu embroidery or Shu xiu (蜀绣)? Thanks,
