A group of workers were spotted airing colorful fabrics on a farm in Foshan City, Guangdong Province. Known as gambiered Guangdong gauze, or Xiangyunsha in Chinese, these silk fabrics are a state-level intangible cultural heritage that date back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Dubbed "soft gold," the silk is made from plant and mineral extractions which are soft and good for the skin. Xiangyunsha requires a delicate process to complete, such as traditional dyeing and printing techniques. Designers like to use this silk to create dresses and clothes due to its soft, refined texture and high quality.
