The Fuchuan Yao ethnic brocade skill is listed in the seventh batch of representative projects of autonomous region level intangible cultural heritage list, which is announced by the Guangxi Culture and Tourism Department.

The Yao brocade technique is a traditional technique that has been circulated in the Yao residential area for generations. It has a history of more than 1,000 years. The Yao brocade is made from natural plants and Chinese herbal medicines in the Nanling Mountains. One of the characteristics of the ancient Yao skills different from other ethnic groups is that they bury the dyes in the soil for three days to fix the color fastness.Approaching the works made with traditional Yao brocade techniques, there is a hint of grass and wood incense.

Li Dongmei, a brocade tribute to the Yao ethnic group, said: “Fuchuan Yao brocade can obtain the intangible cultural heritage of Guangxi province, which plays a key role in the creation of Fuchuan Yao brocade and the creation of the brand."
