Xiangyun Silk Introduction:
Xiangyun silk(or Xiangyun Sha or 香云纱) is a handcrafted dyeing and finishing technique with a history of 1,700 years. The juice of yam plants is used as the dye for Xiangyun silk. The production of Xiangyun silk involves 13 pure handcraft processes in a repetitive cycle, taking nearly a year to complete one piece. Xiangyun silk can only be produced for five months each year. The texture of Xiangyun silk changes over time, earning it the nickname "open piece(开片)." Each piece of Xiangyun silk is unique and cannot be mass-produced. The peak period of Xiangyun silk was during the late Qing Dynasty to the early 20th century. The production technique of Xiangyun silk was once on the verge of extinction in the last century. In 2008, Xiangyun silk was included in the Chinese National Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
Jade Rabbit(玉兔):
The Jade Rabbit or Moon rabbit or Moon hare is a mythical figure in East Asian and indigenous American folklore, based on interpretations that identify the dark markings on the near side of the Moon as a rabbit or hare.
