【集思晨读 Lewis Day 81 中国文化特辑 】
011 Brocade 云锦
Good morning, everyone! It's Thurs. 26th. Feb. I am Lewis saying hello to you all from Yangzhou.
大家周四早上好，今天是二月二十六号! 我是Lewis，在扬州给大家晨读！
今天的中国文化特辑和大家聊一下 “云锦” Brocade
1. Brocade is a kind of luxurious silk created over 1,600 years ago.
2. The gorgeous patterns are as beautiful as the colorful clouds in the sky hence the Chinese name Yunjin.
3. Since the Yuan Dynasty, Yunjin has been used for the imperial family's clothes especially the emperor.
4. Different sizes and patterns indicate different official ranks.
5. It is woven with various kinds of rare silk yarns and feathers.
6. Traditional Yunjin is purely handmade on the jacquard weaving machines.
7. At most five to six centimeters' Yunjin could be produced one day even with the cooperation of two workers.
8. Now this traditional skill has been modernized and applied to new fashions.
That's all about today's sharing. I shall have a review tomorrow of the past 11 episodes' reading material. Stay tune!
明天的集思晨读分享，我将带大家回顾往期11期的中国文化特辑内容。大家明早儿见！
