Song brocade is one of China's four famous brocades and a national intangible cultural heritage. It relies on the unique ancient method of opening the warp and breaking the weft. In ancient times, it was exclusively used by the court nobles. The pattern is elegant and delicate, and it is known as the "Crown of Brocades". The pattern of butterflies attracting dragons comes from the silk paintings of flowers and birds in the Song Dynasty. Spring flowers and flying butterflies are classic Chinese auspicious patterns. Butterflies symbolize freedom, beauty, good fortune, and everything goes smoothly. The pure white color abandons the heavy colors of traditional Song brocade and is suitable for the daily wear of modern young women. The craftsmen improved the color matching specifically for young girls, and mixed light gold and silver thin threads to weave butterfly Song brocade, which weakens the heavy Chinese style and retains the unique soft light texture of silk brocade. The weaving process of the entire Song brocade is cumbersome, the thin gold and silver threads are easy to break, and the weaving cycle of a single piece of fabric is long. Each piece of brocade has a unique texture. Combining the millennium Song brocade craftsmanship with modern mini tote bags, the gentle poetry of spring butterflies is condensed into a square-inch handbag.
