Present situation of Dai brocade abroad

At present, the resources utilization of Dai brocade mainly tends to the development of tourism products, and the conversion rate of practical value and economic value is not high [4]. Like the intangible cultural heritage of many ethnic minorities, Dai brocade is mostly developed through family tradition, which directly leads to the gradual loss of Dai brocade skills. Moreover, due to the complexity of Dai brocade technology, the inheritance space of Dai brocade technology is relatively narrow. The invasion of foreign culture and unsatisfactory economic benefits have made more and more young Dai people reluctant to settle down and learn Dai brocade skills for many years. This has also led to fewer and fewer craftsmen who understand Dai brocade technology, and they are also facing the loss. In addition, Dai brocade is hand-woven locally, and the weaving process is very complicated. Therefore, the production efficiency and output of Dai brocade are low, which makes Dai brocade a "rare product" with high cost, resulting in high price and narrow audience. These problems make the inheritance and development of Dai brocade in modern society face great challenges.
