导读：Xiangyunsha Silk 08：The Fabric of China: Discovering the Timeless Legacy of Xiangyunsha

Xiangyun Sha, originally known as "Liang Sha", specifically referred to a silk gauze (a lightweight, open-work fabric woven with the leno jacquard technique, commonly called "twisted-eye openwork") patterned with designs such as swastika motifs, victory flowers, walnut patterns, or checkboards. The gauze was then processed through sun-dyeing (a unique dyeing and finishing technique for Xiangyun Sha). Later, its meaning expanded to become the general term for "Liang Sha Chou", which encompasses both the open-work Liang gauze (Sha) and the plain-weave Liang satin (Chou). It is important to note that Liang Sha and Liang Chou are entirely different in terms of their weaving techniques.

XIANGYUNSHA SILK

NANSHA CULTURE

During the Republic of China period, Guangzhou once produced Confucius-branded Xiangyunsha.
So, could there be any historical connection with Nansha?

During the Republic of China period:

1.Guangzhou had Panyu Xuegong (Confucius Temple), but no Xiangyunsha.

2.Shunde had Xiangyunsha, but no Confucius elements.
The only place that combined both Confucius elements and Xiangyunsha was
what is now Nansha District of Guangzhou (which originally belonged to Panyu County during the Republic of China period).

This is all speculation—feel free to share your thoughts and discuss!
