Suzhou embroidery (Su embroidery for short) was originated in Wuxian, Suzhou and later on spread to the neighboring areas such as Nantong, Wuxi, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Suqian and Dongtai in Jiangsu province. These areas, located in the lower reach of Youngest River, have been famous for their high quality silk productions for centuries. The fertile soil, mild temperature, and booming production of silk fabric and thread naturally nourished the burgeoning and flourishing of Suzhou embroidery.
