Silk Jacquard Organza Vest

This "Crane and Deer in Spring" purple vest sparkles like morning dew—delicate and radiant. The crane soars high in the clouds, symbolizing purity and longevity, echoing the ancient saying: "A crane lives for a thousand years." Its presence represents enduring vitality and endless hope for the future. The deer, lively and graceful, moves freely through the mountains, embodying auspiciousness and prosperity.

Symbolism and Design Inspiration

Surrounding the central figures are Jin embroidery motifs of flourishing plants such as flowers and pines, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. The design is inspired by the treasured painting "Crane and Deer in Spring," which not only showcases the harmonious coexistence of these creatures but also conveys a message of national prosperity and flourishing life. The phrase "Crane and Deer in Spring" also symbolizes "Harmony in the Six Directions," expressing wishes for peace and longevity.

Artistic Craftsmanship

This vest features various Jin embroidery techniques, including flat stitch and twist stitch, bringing the animal figures to life. The colors of the embroidery threads are carefully selected, using pure plant dyes to achieve the tonal theme reminiscent of the Northern Wei period. This low-saturation palette conveys both historical depth and refined elegance, allowing you to feel transported back to a thousand years ago, immersed in the cultural essence of that era.

It lightly drapes over the body, as if carrying blessings and wisdom from ancient times.
