Zhuang Brocade, together with Yun Brocade (Nanjing), Shu Brocade (Sichuan), and Song Brocade (Hangzhou) are known as China's Four Famous Brocades. Featuring thick texture, contrasting colors and diamond geometric patterns and rigorous structures, Zhuang Brocade reflects a rich and robust artistic style. Brocade patterns are often inspired from life, symbolizing good luck. 
This brocade is woven with colorful birds and flowers, trees and other patterns on the pale yellow background and then taped with geometric patterns with apple green borders, decorated with pink silk threads. It looks elegant and simple, colorful and bright.
