Valerie Hector has done research on Chinese beadwork and has written a book The Art of Beadwork: Historic Inspiration, Contemporary Design.

I also found her website on Chinese beadwork to be interesting. There is a link midway down the webpage to page 10 of her book showing more examples. She teaches and gives seminars.

I know there is a place in China that specializes in embroidering both sides of a fabric with two different designs. I wonder if that has crossed to beading also, though I’ve never heard of it.
