Abstract:

In order to build the weave structure system of the ancient China backed weave structure brocade and provide a reference for the innovation of modern brocade, the historical evolution of the backed weave structure brocade used in ancient China was studied according to historical documents. On this basis, the brocade was divided into four major types, i.e. dark-clip-type, no-knot-type, special-knot-type and ground-knot-type according to the connection characteristics of brocade weave structure. Meanwhile, the characteristics of the structure, pattern display and internal relationships of these four types of brocade were analyzed. It is found that the structural evolution generally shows that the ground weave is from non-existence to existence, the characteristics of connection is from no-yarn to dedicated yarn and then to ground-yarn, the way of pattern display is from warp to weft and then to warp and weft, and the float length is from short to long. The essence of the evolution has been to improve the performance and appearance of the backed weave structure brocade through optimizing the structure constantly, towards creating representative silk varieties in various historical periods.

Key words: silk, brocade, backed weave, jacquard fabric, weaving structure
