The current situation of Zhuang Brocade in Guangxi

Due to historical and practical reasons, Zhuang Brocade is facing a serious inheritance crisis and is in urgent need of rescue and protection. With the collapse of the natural economic structure, commodity economy and urban civilization continue to impact ancient folk culture, the inheritance and development of traditional craft tapestries are facing unprecedented difficulties.

In the past, brocade weaving technology has been widely developed, and one of the main factors is that it is a basic skill for many Zhuang women to make a living. The craft of brocade weaving is passed down from generation to generation. A spiritual tapestry artist or a very smart girl will teach her some basic principles through the master, and add her own insights into life, and her creations will be integrated into the magnificent tapestry.
