Nanjing yunjin brocades are famous for their exquisite technology, elegant patterns and smooth texture. It is famous for its cloud-like colours and intricate patterns. Nanjing yunjin brocade is regarded as one of the best forms of silk. It was Nanjing's largest handicraft industry at that time. When Nanjing Yunjin weaving peaked, it had more than 30,000 looms and nearly 300,000 people made a living in these fields. In the Qing Dynasty, "Jiangning Weaving Department" was established in Nanjing. The Eastern Jin government had set up a special brocade office in Nanjing to manage the production of the brocade, which represented the formal establishment of Nanjing brocade. The brocade weavers were top craftsmen nationwide and had learned many skills from minority ethnic groups. The victory brought all the craftsmen in Xi'an back to Jiankang, now Nanjing City, among whom brocade-weavers were a dominant force. In a war, which broke out at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), General Liu Yu defeated the Xi'an-based Later Qin kingdom (384-417).
The history of brocade in Nanjing can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period (220-280). In 2009, Nanjing brocade was selected into the representative list of oral and intangible heritage of humanity at UNESCO. During the Ming dynasty, the yunjin weavers developed a technique of swivel weaving that enabled them to weave colourful designs onto a base fabric in other weaves, such as satin. It is shuttle-woven, and often incorporates gold and silver threads with the coloured silks. Yunjin ( Chinese: 雲錦), Nanjing brocade or cloud brocade, is a traditional Chinese luxury silk brocade made in Nanjing since the end of the Song dynasty, and based on weft-weaving techniques from both the Song and Tang dynasties.
