Brocade protection
The Chinese government has spent some 10 million RMB in the protection and repair of Nanjing Yunjin. The Nanjing Brocade Research Institute has undertaken an in-depth study and rectification of the historical archives and successfully copied one of the most outstanding silks in theMawangduiHan Tomb. The 1.28-meter-long silk coat with a pair of long sleeves is as light as the mist and as fine as gossamer, weighing a mere 49 grams. The institute has also published 200 volumes on brocade objects and the most comprehensive monograph on the history of the art's development. It is called theChronicle of Brocade.
