The traditional technology of spinning, dyeing, weaving and embroidery of the Li nationality has a long history.

Li women will design beautiful clothes for themselves. As the carrier of Li culture, Li Jin's traditional textile technology is an indispensable part of Li's cultural heritage.
Inheritance status
In the 1950s, Li women generally mastered Li brocade craftsmanship. By the 1970s, less than half of them had mastered Li brocade craftsmanship. Today, there are less than 1,000 people, and most of them are over 70 years old. Fewer than 100 people have mastered the skill of dyeing and stitching, and fewer than 10 people have mastered the skill of double-sided embroidery. Most of the people who have mastered this skill have been advanced for many years. With their successive deaths and their demise, it is urgent to inherit, record, organize and study Li Jin's craft. In addition, Li minority areas belong to poor and backward areas, lacking the necessary technology, equipment and funds for heritage protection.
