The script used for this work of art is ancient and difficult to read. It may refer to a husband and wife who love each other and are going to a King's palace. This embroidered piece features gold-colored threads against a blue background, perhaps a reference to wealth. Chinese characters were originally pictures representing objects, conditions and abstract ideas: the Chinese regarded painting and writing as correlated arts of equal importance. The graphic beauty of Chinese calligraphy is employed frequently for ornamental purposes and the characters are painted or embroidered in many different styles.
