In the book "Secret Treasures of Qinov" it is written that the embroidery wizard uses needles, thin like hair. Colors are so bright that blind eyes, landscapes and houses
Placed with the right perspective, and flowers and birds seem to come to life. The city of Suzhou is rightfully one of the most famous and visited
Tourists of the cities of China.
The Chinese themselves call this area "Paradise on Earth"; Foreigners prefer another name "Chinese Venice" - due to a variety of channels that attach the similarity of Suzhou with a famous Italian city. In 1276, this city visited Marco Polo, who described him with the words "Great" and "noble".
At the beginning of the 20th century, Western Europe became acquainted with this type of art. In 1909, the portrait of the Italian queen Lina was sent to Italy as
State gift and produced a sensation there. In 1915, the image of Jesus received the first prize at the Panamo-Pacific International Exhibition in the United States.
Traditions and experience are preserved and multiplied in modern work. Silk thread does not fade and retains the initial view of decades.
The best embroidery exceeds drawn paintings. Embroidery silk for silk can be a two-way - embroidered image from two sides looks
Absolutely the same. Such pictures do not hang, and put on a horizontal surface.
Suzhou silk embroidery equipment appeared more than 2,000 years ago, and, thanks to the constant exhaustion of skill, transmitted from generation to generation, gradually reached perfection.
There were times when in Suzhou almost every family was engaged in the breeding of tide silkworms to obtain silk threads used for embroidery. Even the names that have survived in Suzhou so far, they speak for themselves: "Silk Thread Lane", "Factory of Silk", "Street of Flowers", and
Others.
The city of Suzhou turned into a silk embroidery center, he became widely known not only in China, but also abroad. Already at the beginning of the 20th century, the silk embroidery technique was significantly improved due to the influence of the West.
"Realistic embroidery" appeared - this technique was made by an embroidered portrait of Lina, Queen Italy, who was presented in Italy in 1909 as a public gift, and became a real world sensation.
In the 30s, the style of "arbitrary stitch" appeared: this embroidery technique involves the use of stitches of various lengths and directions, as well as the imposition of numerous layers of silk yarns of various color shades, which makes it possible to achieve the striking effect of the game of light, "three dimensions" and the realism of embroidered paintings.
As in previous times, the process of creating an embroidered picture requires a huge wage cost of the wizard-embroidery: on average, one embroidered picture is created for several months of continuous and hard work, and the masters are embroidered for more than a year!
Suzhou manual embroidery equipment continues its development. Currently, the province of Suzhou province produces silk on advanced technology, which allows you to create embroidered paintings in even more brighter and living paints and seek astounding visual effects.
