Silk tapestry hangings

　　With the booming development of tourism and the increasing number of domestic and international visitors, the Chengde Silk Factory has successively launched high-end silk handicrafts such as the "Summer Resort Tapestry" and the "Eight Outer Temples Tapestry Series."

The tapestries use the traditional "central hall painting" style, characterized by elegant and fresh colors and grand, majestic compositions. On pale yellow or light gray satin backgrounds, they employ scattered-point perspective and realistic fine-brush techniques to make full use of the limited space, intricately depicting groups of ancient architecture that reflect the exquisite, delicate, and elegant beauty of classical Chinese gardens.

Shared ancient pines, clear lake waters, low-hanging weeping willows, snow-white pear blossoms, the towering Qingchui Peak, and the majestic Six Harmonies Pagoda... all come vividly to life on the woven silk. The entire tapestry resembles a well-balanced Chinese painting. (Chengde)
