The dragon quilt is a representative brocade product made through the four major crafts of spinning, dyeing, weaving, and embroidery of the Li ethnic group in Hainan. The dragon quilt has a rigorous composition, vibrant colors, diverse styles, and rich connotations. It was one of the "tribute items" presented by the Li people to the imperial courts of emperors.
