historical origin
Silkworm and mulberry civilization originated very early in Shu. Silkworm bushes, the first king in ancient Shu, were said to have taught people to raise silkworms. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shangshu recorded that the brocade produced in Chengdu was called "Shu brocade" to show the difference.
By the Han Dynasty, the brocade industry in Chengdu became more and more prosperous, which led to the "harmony between machines" and the increasingly skilled weaving skills of Shu brocade, which was famous for its exquisite workmanship and various patterns. The weaving of Shu brocade in the Han and Tang Dynasties was mainly based on multi-faceted and multi-creep looms. When Zhang Biao of the Han Dynasty went to the Western Regions, he saw that the local businessmen preferred a kind of brocade. Zhang Biao looked at it and it turned out to be the Shu brocade of Chengdu. Yang Xiong, a Chengdu native of Shujun County in the Han Dynasty, wrote in Fu of Shudu: "If you wield rich cloth and embroidery, you will never see much. He is a man who makes his own wonderful brocade. Prosperous writing and endless generations."
The early Shu brocade was mainly composed of multiple warp silk blossoms (Jingjin), and the variety became more and more abundant after the Tang Dynasty. The patterns of Shu brocade in Tang Dynasty are checkered flower, lotus flower, tortoise shell flower, couplet beads, birds and animals, etc., which are very rich. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, designs such as Tianyue, Chang'an Bamboo, Fangsheng, Yiman, Lion Club and Badayan were added. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji took refuge in Shu. Soldiers complained. Tang Xuanzong restored morale with 100,000 pieces of Shu brocade.
During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, weft brocades with flowering weft were developed. The patterns of weft brocades were Qingfeng Nianjin, Lantern Brocade, Pan Ball, Cuichi Lion, Lark, Ruichao Yunhe, Baihua Peacock, Yimen Baihua, Ruyi Peony, etc. Lu Dafang set up Jinyuan in Chengdu in Song Dynasty. Similar to Jinguancheng, it is also a national Shu brocade factory responsible for the production of Shu brocade in Chengdu. In Song Dynasty, Chengdu was responsible for 670,200 Shu brocades, 7865 Shu brocades and almost all of the superior Shu brocades.
In the late Ming Dynasty, Shu brocade was destroyed. At this time, the patterns of plum, bamboo, peony, grape, pomegranate and so on.
After the Qing Dynasty, Shu brocade was restored. Affected by brocade weaving in the south of the Yangtze River, Yuehua brocade, Fangfang brocade and raccoon brocade were produced, among which Yuehua brocade and Yuehua brocade with color halo stripes were the most distinctive.
Modern Shu brocade is woven with dyed ripe silk, which has a tough texture and bright colors.
