It is a textile made by interweaving silk threads in both the warp and weft directions with rich patterns and colors, and it is usually used to make high-end clothing and home d\u00e9cor. The production process of brocade silk is very complex and requires highly skilled techniques and patience, thus brocade silk products were considered precious items in ancient times. Modern brocade silk production techniques are also constantly developing, becoming an important cultural heritage and art form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/brocade-silk-014.jpg\" alt=\"Silk Weaving\" class=\"wp-image-2390\" width=\"535\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/brocade-silk-014.jpg 1070w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/brocade-silk-014-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/brocade-silk-014-1024x743.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/angelaleung.site\/mmea19\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/brocade-silk-014-768x557.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Wang Jinshan\u738b\u91d1\u5c71 (1939-2020) was one of the first recognized inheritors of the traditional brocade silk craft recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in China.
