Shangjiukai completely inherited the entire set of ancient Song brocade methods from Suzhou Weaving House in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The brocade material has been used as a national-level foreign affairs and national gift fabric all year round; the five-fold weft is the top limited heavy weft brocade in ancient times. The materials and labor hours are five times that of ordinary Song brocade. It was only used by the royal family in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The butterfly pattern has been an auspicious pattern since ancient times. Gold butterfly fabrics inlaid with jewels were popular in the palace, which symbolized continuous good fortune and rising fortunes. The ruby ​​color was taken from the ruby ​​accessories in the palace, symbolizing good fortune and nobility. In the Qing Dynasty, Suzhou Weaving specially woven black gold butterfly tribute brocades for the harem. The craftsmen restored this black gold and ruby ​​red color scheme by referring to the butterfly pattern remnants of Qing Dynasty costumes in the Forbidden City, and adhered to the five-fold weft hand-weaving method. The entire brocade has gone through more than 20 processes of reeling and dyeing, natural dyeing of vegetation, cross-stitching, and layered weaving with five layers of weft. The hollow butterfly pattern is fine and complicated. The old-fashioned handloom can only weave 1 to 2 centimeters of fabric in a single day. The cost of gilt + ruby ​​red raw materials is high, and mass production of fabrics is extremely scarce.
