"Weaving the golden legacy of Nanjing: A Yunjin inheritor's storyIn the exhibition hall of Nanjing Yunjin Brocade Museum, a giant wooden loom, which is 5.6 meters long, 1.4 meters wide, and 4 meters high, is extremely eye-catching. It needs the cooperation of two skilled craftsmen to operate the loom, with one sitting high on the top to lift the threads, while the other sitting below to weave the patterns. With rich and dazzling sheen, the fabric is as beautiful as rosy clouds. Mainly produced in Nanjing, it is called Nanjing Yunjin, which is one of the four famous brocades in China, along with Songjin, Shujin, and Zhuangjin.2026-08-04高瞻http://english.scio.gov.cn/2026-08/04/118632422_t2_11X21X578X399_a28eebd6-7f96-44fe-b1b3-164888d3f1b9.JPGhttp://english.scio.gov.cn/videos/2026-08/04/content_118632422_4.htmlXinhua
