The national trend Song brocade head brand is made of Jiu Kai intangible cultural heritage woven fabric, natural mulberry silk is mixed with mother-of-pearl fantasy silk thread and ancient gold thread, and the Song brocade pattern of "changing dragon and phoenix pattern" in blue and red ground is reproduced in the museum. The Tibetan-style Dharma wheel is arranged symmetrically in the center, with dragons and phoenixes wrapped around the branches. The pattern is named "Change", which means that time will come and everything will be renewed; the navy blue background is matched with blue and blue gilt mother-of-pearl threads, and the texture is three-dimensional relief. The mother-of-pearl threads flow with fine iridescence between light and shadow. The texture is far superior to ordinary printed fabric phone cases on the market. The whole machine is fully covered with frosted TPU soft edges, which provide buffer protection against drops, and a heightened lens ring to isolate wear and tear. The natural silk brocade surface is skin-friendly and breathable, and is not easily stained by fingerprints and hand sweat, making it dry to hold in all seasons. This Song brocade, which combines palace dragons and phoenixes with Tibetan Dharma wheels, was used in ancient times to frame high-end collections of calligraphy and paintings, and to decorate royal gift boxes. Nowadays, it has been transformed into a portable national-style accessory. It has a calm and majestic aura for personal use. Giving as a gift means bringing good fortune and lasting good fortune.

Shangjiukai is the benchmark intangible cultural heritage brand of Suzhou Song brocade. It inherits the millennium Song brocade weaving skills of Suzhou Weaving House and has been used as a national-level foreign affairs and national gift fabric for many times. Song brocade has been used by the royal court since the Southern Song Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was specially used for royal clothing, treasure boxes, and ancient book bindings. The intangible cultural heritage technique has been passed down to this day. This "changing dragon and phoenix pattern" is an original collection of the brand. The core of the pattern is taken from the Chinese character "change (change)", which combines the auspicious dragon and phoenix culture of the Central Plains with the Tibetan Falun pattern: the dragon and phoenix symbolize wealth, auspiciousness and auspicious protection, the Falun represents the completion of the cycle and the removal of obstacles, and the core of the word "change" means the flow of fortune and the peace and prosperity. The entire brocade material completely follows more than 20 ancient processes: silk reeling, plant dyeing, cross-stitch knotting, and hand-thrown weaving on an old wooden machine. The weaving process of mother-of-pearl colored threads is complicated. One loom can only weave a few centimeters of brocade material in a single day, and the fabric output is scarce. The designer adapted this collection-level Song brocade pattern to the mobile phone body, allowing high-end Song brocade, which once only appeared in museums and national gifts, to enter the daily lives of ordinary people.
