Suzhou embroidery

Since ancient times, China has been considered the birthplace of silk. It was from China that the Great Silk Road ran through all of Asia. This thinnest fabric has conquered the whole world. And although silk has existed for more than two and a half thousand years, people have not come up with a better material.
Despite the fact that silk production has spread over time almost all over the world, some types of silk products have remained the secret of China. One of these arts is silk thread embroidery on silk fabric. For the first time this craft appeared in Suzhou and since then it is called "Suzhou embroidery". And although the art of embroidery exists in very many countries of the world, there is nothing like Suzhou embroidery anywhere in imr. This rare craft has existed in China for over two thousand years and its secrets have been passed down from generation to generation. Paintings on national themes made by Suzhou masters have no analogues in the world.
This craft, which should rather be called art, has its own subtleties, the technique of Suzhou embroidery is unique in itself. On the basis of translucent silk, the finest needle with unusually bright silk threads reproduce original scenes. Usually these are episodes from the life of birds or animals. There can be amazing flower arrangements or charming landscapes. Chinese silk embroidery on silk is one of a kind. A feature of their talent is that in some unknown way knots of threads are hidden so that both sides are front.
