Four characters describe the foundational weaves of Chinese silk. Each carries a distinct hand, a distinct sheen, a distinct purpose — from the everyday versatility of chou to the luminous luxury of duan satin.
Soft diagonal texture. Used in official robes and scroll mounting. A refined, gentle drape with subtle depth.
Twisted warp threads create an open, breathable structure. The silk of summer — cool, airy, and remarkably enduring.
