The orchid pattern in traditional weaving and embroidery patterns is commonly seen as several flowers on one stem, forming a pattern alone; some are combined with osmanthus to form a pattern, taking "orchid osmanthus" Qi Fang's auspicious meaning.

The unearthed cultural relics of the Yin, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties can be vaguely seen in the lines of silk fabrics and embroidery patterns adhered to the soil. Especially in 1982, embroidered quilts (quilts) and Zen (single) clothes were unearthed from Chu Tomb No. 1 in Mashan, Jiangling, Hubei, with dragons, phoenixes, tigers and flowers embroidered on them. They are both beautiful and changeable in form and spirit.
