Dai brocade from Luxi

　　Dai brocade is a traditional handicraft product of the Dai ethnic group, featuring a strong ethnic character as well as a versatile, practical style. It is woven with fine thread as the warp and colored threads as the weft. With a long history, exquisite craftsmanship, unique patterns, vivid imagery, and a bright yet simple design, the colors and patterns can be customized as needed, reflecting the wisdom of the Dai people and their aspiration for a better life and pioneering spirit. Dai brocade has a wide range of uses. Products currently on the market include tube scarves, curtains, quilt covers, mattress pads, tablecloths, sofa covers, and sofa cushions. In the past, only Dai women wove brocade, but now many young men have also joined the craft. In Luxi City, professional Dai brocade villages and households have emerged in Mangshi Town, suburban areas, and rural parts of Zhefang Town, with their products sold both domestically and abroad.
