Description

Shu Brocade (Sichuan Brocade)

The “Mother of Chinese Brocade”

Originating in Chengdu during the Warring States period, Shu Brocade boasts a 2,000-year history. It is renowned as the predecessor of the Japanese Nishijin-ori weaving and is celebrated for its cultural significance.

• Weaving Technique:Traditionally woven on complex jacquard looms (Hualou looms), featuring patterns of symmetry and continuity.
• Aesthetic:Known for its bright colors, strong contrasts, and geometric or figurative skeletons. Patterns often include peonies, dragons, phoenixes, and local landmarks.
• History:Once managed by the imperial court in “Jin Guan City” (Chengdu), it was a major trade item on the Silk Road. The discovery of Han Dynasty brocade loom models in Chengdu highlights its status as the earliest jacquard weaving technology in the world.
