The photo, taken on December 24, shows Dong women exchange views on Dong brocade weaving at a Dong brocade inheritance center in Tongdao Dong Autonomous County. Dong brocade, a national intangible cultural heritage, is a kind of handmade fabrics that has been passed on from generation to generation of Dong women. In recent years, several Dong brocade producers in the county developed a variety of products, such as beddings, handbags, wraps, scarfs, and clothes. These brocade products sold well in Beijing, Shanghai, and even foreign countries including South Korea and Russia. The annual sales reached nearly 25 million yuan. Dong people benefited a lot from this time-honored craftsmanship. (Photo/Liu Qiang, Pan Qijuan)
