A silver needle roams in the hand, silk threads dance on the satin, Chinese Suzhou embroidery, painting with needles, outlines the beauty of Jiangnan.
Suzhou embroidery is one of the four famous embroidery in China, which originated in Suzhou more than 2,000 years ago.
Suzhou embroidery can be divided into random needle embroidery and flat embroidery according to the needle method, and can be used for single-sided embroidery and double-sided embroidery.
The colors are elegant and the embroidery is fine.
Between the flying needles and the thread, it gives the same charm as Su embroidery poetry.
Splitting silk is a unique method of processing silk thread in Suzhou embroidery. The thinnest silk thread is split, with a diameter only one tenth of that of a human hair. An exquisite work of embroidery requires hundreds of thousands of needle threads.
Beautiful things are not easy to come by, and the test of needle and thread is the ultimate "ingenuity".
Most of the traditional Suzhou embroidery is based on Chinese fine brushwork, especially flowers, birds and small animals.
Today's Suzhou embroidery draws on the strengths of others, and integrates Chinese and Western art forms such as painting and photography into its works.
Chinese Suzhou embroidery embraces the natural world, and integrates the elegance of the wind and moon into one needle and one thread, presenting the broad and profound Chinese culture and artistic skills.
The embroidered landscape can be divided into the distance and the near, the pavilion has a profound body, and the characters can have a vivid look.
