絲綢在多個世紀以來，不止因為它的價值，歷史的重要性而被重視，織繡書畫亦和中國藝術與文學緊密交織。香港大學美術博物館的展覽 《如絲如畫：香港大學美術博物館藏中國織物》，從藏品中帶出絲綢和中國文化的微妙關係， 同時突出背後的工藝。
Over the centuries, silk fabrics have not only captivated the ancient world with its beauty, artistry and value, but are also entwined throughout the history of Chinese art and literature. In Pictorial Silks: Chinese Textiles from the UMAG Collection presented by The University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG) of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), the exhibition celebrates the links of Chinese culture and silks, as well as its craftsmanship.

自宋代(960–1279)起至清代(1644–1911)，工匠以梭子和針為筆、以絲線為彩，創作織繡書畫。織工和繡工的巧手將緙絲和刺繡幻化成觀賞性藝術品──一種集繪畫、書法、手工梭織或刺繡之美於一身的藝術形式。正是這種跨媒介特質，讓栩栩如生的緙繡書畫在中國視覺文化中持續享有獨特的地位。
Beginning in the Song dynasty (960 -1279) and flourishing into the Qing (1644 -1911), craftsmen took up shuttles and needles as their brushes and silk threads as their pigments, creating exquisitely woven and embroidered pictorial and calligraphic works. In the hands of the weavers and embroiderers, weft-woven silk tapestry (kesi) and embroidery (cixiu) evolved into an art form—a fusion of painting, calligraphy and hand weaving or embroidering for aesthetic appreciation. When viewed together, the interdisciplinary nature of these vivid depictions of images and text occupy a unique and unbroken place within the history of Chinese visual culture.
