November 11 芙蓉锦鲤
《芙蓉锦鲤》突破了有史以来蜀锦鲜有织鱼的难关，把传统古蜀锦织造工艺的特点表现得活灵活现。尤其是锦鲤从鱼肚到鱼脊的色彩过渡惟妙惟肖，其他织锦难以比拟。古蜀锦的织造工艺跃上了一个新台阶。
The brocade painting with the title of “ancy carps chasing each other in the shade of flowers” has vividly described a cozy, harmonious and natural scene: In a midsummer day, the hibiscus tree is in leafy profusion and its flowers are in full bloom. In the shade of the flowers, a shoal of alacritous fancy carps are chasing and dallying with each other. The brocade painting is in vivid color and rich gradation. Sharp contrast is presented by the still of the shade and the motion of the carps, and one would often believe that those carps are fresh and alive in the nature.
The Shu Brocade titled Hibiscus and Fancy Carps has solved the difficulty that very few brocade products could have fish woven on them since the birth of Shu Brocade, and has vividly displayed the features of traditional weaving technique used to produce the ancient Shu Brocade. Among other features, one worth mentioning is the absolutely lifelike color transition from the belly to the spine of the fancy carps, which can hardly be rivaled by other brocades and symbolizes that the weaving technique of the ancient Shu Brocade has jumped onto a new stage.
Shu brocade
Sichuan brocade was first produced in Chengdu, Sichuan province, during the Han Dynasty. It became the primary kind of traditional silk brocade. After Sichuan became linked to middle China, its brocade-making skills were spread throughout China. Sichuan brocade flourished during the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, with more designs, patterns, and colors being used. Especially during the Tang Dynasty, Sichuan produced a large quantity of very high quality silken goods. The magnum opus of this period included patterns of bundles of flowers, red lions, and the Chinese phoenix.
