Root art and root carving are important folk crafts in Suqian. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the literati and scholars in Suqian made and collected root art on a large scale. In recent years, under the leadership of Zhang Dazhi, Wang Liangcai, Zhou Yongwen, Chen Chao and others, folk root art makers in Suqian have participated in national, provincial and municipal exhibitions many times, and many of them have won awards. At present, the root art works of Zhou Yongwen, the representative inheritor of Suyu District, have been published in newspapers and magazines such as "Suqian Evening News", "Suqian Daily", "Yangtze Evening News", "Suyu Literature and Art", and "Art World", and have attracted the attention of major news media. Many works have been collected by art galleries in various places.
