A brief introduction to Zhuang brocade art:

Applicant: Jingxi County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region

Zhuang brocade has a long history. The "banbu" woven by Zhuang ancestors in Han Dynasty is its predecessor. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, archaeologists excavated several pieces of orange red Huiwen brocade in the No. 7 remnant pit of the Han tomb in luobowan, Guangxi, confirming that Guangxi had brocade weaving skills in the Han Dynasty.

Zhuang brocade was formed in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and further developed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was listed as a tribute in the Ming Dynasty. In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Zhuang brocade began to decline. After thousands of years of development, Zhuang brocade has its own system of three categories, more than 20 varieties and more than 50 patterns. It is famous for its durability, exquisite craftsmanship, unique patterns and exquisite patterns.

Zhuang brocade is one of the excellent cultural heritages of Zhuang nationality. It can not only provide vivid material for the study of textile skills of ethnic minorities in China, but also add vivid examples to the textile history of China and even the world. It plays a positive role in inheriting and promoting national culture and enhancing national self-esteem. However, due to historical and practical reasons, Zhuang brocade is facing a severe inheritance crisis, which is in urgent need of rescue and protection.
