Qian Xiaoping, a national-level intangible cultural heritage master, was selected to restore Song brocade fabrics, using natural mulberry silk mixed with light green, off-white, and gilt colored silks to restore the palace's classic twin-branched double gourds and continuous patterns. It has a warm apricot yellow brocade base, with vines winding gracefully and continuously around double gourds, with hidden bats hiding among the flowers and leaves. The green and white colors are elegant and soft, and the ancient hand-made jacquard creates an embossed fabric texture. The texture levels are full and delicate, and the texture is far superior to cheap printed fabric shells on the market. The all-inclusive TPU soft shell is 1:1 accurately modeled on the real phone, and the lens ring is heightened to protect against bumps in all directions; the natural silk brocade surface is skin-friendly and breathable, oil-resistant and fingerprint-resistant, making it dry and non-sticky to hold in all seasons. The gourd is homophonic to "Fu Lu", which means good fortune and good fortune; the continuous branches represent continuous good fortune and good health from generation to generation, and the bat symbolizes blessings all over the door. In ancient times, the Fulu gourd brocade was mostly used in palace birthday dresses, birthday treasure boxes, and wealthy people's gift bags for personal use and protection. Giving gifts means long life and prosperity.

Song brocade is an intangible cultural heritage of mankind. Qian Xiaoping is a leading intangible inheritor of Song brocade. He has devoted his life to the restoration and weaving of Song brocade, restoring hundreds of lost ancient brocade patterns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Fulu gourd pattern originated in the Tang and Song Dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing palaces. The gourd has been the most auspicious pattern in China since ancient times. It is homophonic to the word "Fu Lu". Its winding branches symbolize endless blessings and a long-term family fortune. The bat means "blessings everywhere". During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, every royal birthday banquet and official congratulations would use the gourd Fulu brocade to make clothing and gift packaging. The entire brocade has gone through more than 20 ancient processes including silk reeling and dyeing, natural dyeing of vegetation, cross-stitching, and hand-throwing on an old-fashioned wooden machine. The winding vines are intricately laid out and the old-fashioned looms can only weave a few centimeters of brocade in a single day. The light-color color matching materials are exquisite, and the fabrics are scarce in mass production. We used Master Qian Xiaoping to restore the Fu Lu Brocade in the museum, cut it to fit a phone case, and carry the thousand-year-old brocade of happiness and longevity with you.
