Suzhou Embroidery: Wheat

Suzhou embroidery, a traditional folk art that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day in China, has been selected as a national intangible cultural heritage. The embroidery patterns are mostly beautiful, with meticulous craftsmanship, elegant colors, unique style, and a strong cultural atmosphere. The materials chosen for embroidery often feature landscapes, pavilions, human figures, and vivid depictions of flowers and birds.

Wheat is one of China’s five major cereal crops. Divided by the Yangtze River into the north and the south, wheat in the north and rice in the south have now become China’s most important food crops.
We know that dumplings and steamed buns have become symbols of Chinese cuisine, and steamed buns and noodles are also basic choices for Chinese people’s daily diet. All of these are inseparable from flour. Therefore, the sowing, ripening, and harvesting of wheat are the top priority for Chinese farmers throughout the year. Every autumn, wheat waves in the wind, golden and fragrant, and the aroma spreads for miles. People come with sickles, enjoying the joy of harvest.

Therefore, this embroidery piece carries the following symbolism:

May you be peace every year.
