Brief introduction of silk reeling:

Silk reeling, also known as "engraving", is the essence of Chinese traditional silk works of art and the most traditional silk weaving industry in China. We appreciate decorative silk fabrics very much. It is not really carved with a knife, but a plain weave fabric with raw silk as warp and colored cooked silk as weft, which is woven by warping and returning weft.

Weft does not run through the whole width according to the pre-drawn pattern, but is dug and woven by several small shuttles according to the color of the pattern, so that there are some broken marks between the pattern and the plain color, similar to the image of knife carving. This is the so-called "drawing warp and breaking weft" knitting method. The ancients described reeling as "carving the image of a wisp of air".
