苏绣作品上的大运河

As one of the national intangible cultural heritages， Suzhou Embroidery boasts a history of more than 2，000 years， and is known for its elegant pattern， artistic design， fine handwork and varied stitches.

A team led by Yao Huifen， a master of Suzhou Embroidery， completed a 4-meter-long work showcasing the rich cultural heritage along the Grand Canal within two months.

The artwork was commissioned by the China Grand Canal Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall， which is located in Cangzhou City of Hebei Province. The facility showcases time-honored crafts collected from the eight regions along the ancient waterway system， namely Beijing， Tianjin， Hebei， Shandong， Jiangsu， Zhejiang， Henan and Anhui.

To reflect the canal’s splendid culture and history through Suzhou Embroidery， Yao and her team worked closely from design to stitching to ensure the best quality.

It’s quite challenging to ensure consistency in style and quality for such a large creation， since each embroiderer has her own methods and habits. But Yao， as the team leader， never compromised in ensuring the beauty and artistry—iconic features of Suzhou Embroidery—even if it meant making difficult adjustments.
