Double sided "Embroidery" in Suzhou: An Observation of Suzhou from the Perspective of Humanities and Economy

2023-05-30   

Looking around from the highest point of the ancient city of Suzhou, the North Temple Pagoda, adjacent to rivers and streets, with small bridges and flowing water, the pattern has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Since Wu Zixu built the Great City of Helu to this day, Suzhou has preserved the most complete vein and texture of Chinese cities. As the core carrier of "Jiangnan Culture", this place has become an indispensable chapter in exploring Chinese civilization. The Kunqu opera, Pingtan, gardens, and Suzhou embroidery, which have been accumulated over the past 2500 years, have already become distinct symbols for the world to recognize China. Wu has a melodious wind and elegant people, and "the most Jiangnan" is the charm brewed by time in this city. A cultural city, a city thriving with culture. The ultimate pursuit of Su Gong and Su Zuoli cultivates the urban temperament of striving for the first and creating the unique everywhere: county-level city in Suzhou rank among the top 100 counties in China all the year round, with Kunshan ranking first for many years; There are 14 national development zones, and Suzhou Industrial Park leads the country all the year round; Focusing on the real economy and building strong and extended chains, it is becoming a global industrial landmark. Both rich in culture and education, as well as exquisite craftsmanship and commerce, humanities and economy blend and complement each other in Suzhou, just like Suzhou's "double-sided embroidery" that has been shining for thousands of years. The Millennium Airbus China R&D Center was officially opened in Suzhou Industrial Park in April, demonstrating its determination to take root in China and deepen cooperation. As the only foreign headquarters economic agglomeration zone in Jiangsu, the park has gathered over 200 foreign R&D centers and 118 multinational company headquarters. In 1994, the Netmaster Park, founded in the Southern Song Dynasty, was repeatedly negotiated between representatives of China and Singapore regarding cooperation in the park. After intense discussions, they went downstairs for a walk, watched a pool of clear water, and listened to a piece of Pingtan. Suzhou's unique elegance made the game suddenly softer. Changing scenery and mood ultimately leads to the achievement of the park as a "window for opening up to the outside world". Looking back on history, the beautiful Suzhou and the prosperous Suzhou have traveled in both directions, coexisting and prospering, blending and converging into a never-ending urban pulse. It is adjacent to the Taihu Lake Lake, the Yangtze River to the north, and the Beijing Hangzhou Canal runs from north to south; Suzhou, with over 20000 rivers and 401 lakes, thrived along the water: shipbuilding flourished during the Spring and Autumn period, and shipping began; Since the Han Dynasty, water conservancy and agriculture have flourished; The Sui Dynasty excavated canals, developed water transportation, and the hub was initially established; Since the Tang and Song dynasties, there have been numerous ports and markets, making it one of the most prosperous states in Jiangnan. Its wealth and wealth are unparalleled in the world. When you come to Gusu, everyone will rest on the river. "The scenery depicted by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Xunhe can still be found everywhere today: ancient towns such as Zhouzhuang and Jinxi, small bridges and flowing houses; The ancient city area is parallel by water and land, and the moat under the weeping willows ripples with blue waves; The modern park also boasts the lake scenery of Jinji Lake and Yangcheng Lake. The veins of culture are like water veins, and only in still water can one flow deeply. The Suzhou city, which has undergone several "dress and dress southward journeys" and has gradually become a cultural center, is still quaint and full of elegance. The Suzhou Bay Museum opened in January 2023 and became a popular check-in place. "A letter from the Han Dynasty" and "Han Tang life etiquette lessons on the Silk Road" have given a profound historical expression to the times; The Pipa language Pingtan Art Museum, hidden by the Pingjiang River, attracts a constant stream of young people from all over the world, just to listen to the Wu language song "Slow Voice"... History and culture are the source, urban development is the flow, and the distance can flow long. From Fan Zhongyan, who "worries about the world first, and enjoys the joy of the world later," to "the prosperity of the world
