Suzhou Embroidery is located in the south of the Yangtze River. The birthplace of Suzhou Embroidery is in Wuxian County, Suzhou, bordering the Taihu Lake Lake. The climate is mild and it is rich in silk. Therefore, it is a traditional custom for women to excel in embroidery. The superior geographical environment, colorful and abundant brocades, and colorful floral threads have created favorable conditions for the development of Su embroidery. In the long history of development, Suzhou embroidery has formed a local style with beautiful patterns, harmonious colors, clear lines, lively stitches and fine embroidery, known as the "Oriental Pearl TV Tower".
From an appreciation perspective, the main artistic characteristics of Su embroidery works are: the ability to distinguish between distant and distant landscapes; The pavilion embodies a profound form; Characters can have a vivid perspective; Flowers and birds can exhibit a graceful and intimate state. The realistic artistic effects of Su embroidery's imitation embroidery and photo embroidery are renowned throughout the world. In terms of embroidery skills, Su embroidery mostly relies on using nested needles, and the embroidery thread is connected without exposing the needle marks. Three or four different similar color lines or adjacent colors are commonly used to match and embroider, creating a freely blended color effect. At the same time, when expressing objects, it is good to leave a "waterway", that is, to leave a line blank in the depth and depth changes of the object, so as to make the layers clear and the outline of the pattern neat. Therefore, when people evaluate Su embroidery, they often summarize it in eight words: "flat, even, fine, dense, even, smooth, harmonious, and light".
After long-term accumulation, Su embroidery has developed into a complete art form with a wide variety of varieties, abundant images, and diverse changes, involving decorative paintings (such as oil painting series, Chinese painting series, water town series, flower series, greeting card series, pigeon score series, vase series, etc.).
