In a word, it is high time for 【小题10】 to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.

As early as a thousand years ago in Kaifeng, China, there were a group of people presenting art and beauty in a delicate manner. Such craft is known 【小题1】 Bian embroidery (汴绣).

For each piece of work, embroiderers would integrate many elements into it 【小题5】 (include) fine art, literature and philosophy. The re-creation of the first volume of the work Along the River during the Qingming Festival is the work of 【小题6】 (experience) Bian embroiderers who have long observed the 【小题7】 (origin) work Qingming Festival and objects. 【小题8】 took over 20 embroiderers a year working around the clock 【小题9】 (complete) such a masterpiece.
