Suzhou embroidery is a national intangible cultural heritage. It has been used by the royal family since ancient times and is famous for its delicate stitching and vivid colors. "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is a famous green landscape painting handed down by Wang Ximeng of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is the pinnacle of Chinese aesthetics, implying a grand plan of thousands of miles and rising step by step. The craftsmen copied the original ancient paintings in depth, extracted the color layers of the landscape, and handed it over to a senior Su embroiderer to hand-embroider in layers. Every gradient in the mountains, lakes, and trees required repeated thread changes. The entire landscape embroidery took a long time to complete, and the embroidery thread texture of each bag is unique.

It is a national style art that is both ornamental, practical and collectible.
