Originating from Suzhou, Jiangnan, Suzhou embroidery boasts a history of over 2,600 years. As the top-ranked craft among the Four Great Chinese Embroideries, it is the most representative symbol of Jiangnan oriental aesthetics. Mature in the Song Dynasty and prosperous in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Suzhou embroidery served exclusively for the royal court in ancient times. Imperial robes and noble accessories adopted delicate Suzhou embroidery craftsmanship, standing for supreme elegance and dignity.
Different from other embroidery schools, Suzhou embroidery is defined by exquisite craftsmanship, neat texture and poetic subtlety. It follows eight rigorous craft principles and includes more than 40 traditional stitching methods. Inspired by Jiangnan landscapes, flowers, birds and traditional literati paintings, it applies soft and low-saturation tones, balancing realistic details and artistic conception, fully presenting the gentle and tranquil charm of water town culture.
