What's Zhuang Brocade 壮锦?

The Zhuang people have a very ancient history, having lived for generations in parts of Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hunan in southwestern China. Zhuang brocade, also known as "Zhuang brocade" or "velvet quilt," is relatively thick and is considered one of China's four famous brocades, a treasure of Guangxi's ethnic culture.

Intangible cultural heritage preservation: In 2006, Zhuang brocade craftsmanship was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage.

Traditional patterns include more than 20 types, such as two dragons playing with a pearl, meander, water, cloud, flower, and animal patterns. More than 80 new patterns such as "Guilin landscape" and "national unity" have also emerged, which are rich in national style.

(Butterfly pattern)

Butterfly pattern embodies the wishes, emotions, and aspirations of the Zhuang people, symbolizing their understanding of harmonious coexistence with nature. The word for "heredity" (輿) is a homophone for "good fortune" (福), and butterflies are often used to symbolize auspiciousness, happiness, and a peaceful and beautiful life. Butterflies often appear alongside flowers in Zhuang brocade; the imagery of "butterflies in love with flowers" symbolizes unwavering love until death. This yearning for love represents the Zhuang girls' expectation of a beautiful and lasting relationship.
