It is as famous as Song Brocade in Suzhou and Shu Brocade in Sichuan, and is called the three famous brocade in China.

The history of Nanjing brocade production can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period. In the Ming Dynasty, the brocade technology became more and more mature and perfect, forming the local characteristics of Nanjing silk jacquard brocade. In Qing Dynasty, there was "Jiangning Weaving Department" in Nanjing, and Yunjin weaving was very popular. During this period, there were many kinds of brocade, solemn patterns and gorgeous colors, which represented the highest achievement of Nanjing brocade weaving technology. Nowadays, Yunjin is not only exported as high-grade clothing fabrics and costumes for ethnic minorities and performances, but also developed new varieties of daily handicrafts, such as Yunjin tablecloths, cushions, quilts, bags, vests, ties, hanging screens, etc., and packed in various cartons according to the needs of consumers. Nanjing Yunjin is a jacquard silk handicraft, which is the first of "precious artworks" in Nanjing, and is also called "three famous brocade" with Jin Shu in Sichuan and Jin Song in Suzhou. It is characterized by solid texture, rich and beautiful patterns and rich colors, and uses a large number of gold threads to form a brilliant and unique style. Yunjin used to be used exclusively by the court, but now it is exported to foreign countries to make high-grade clothing fabrics in addition to ethnic minorities. Nanjing Yunjin, with as many as 18 colors, is rich and elegant by introducing the main flowers layer by layer.
