Li brocade, known as "The Living Fossil in the Chinese Weaving History", has a history of more than 3,000 years. The Li weaving technique was the most advanced technique in China back to the 13th century. HUANG Daopo, a legendary woman from Shanghai, learned Li's weaving from the Li people and brought it back to her hometown. Gradually the Li weaving technique was spread across the whole country. A key feature of the Li brocade is that all dyes used in the Li brocade are floral dyes instead of animal dyes or mineral dyes.
