The traditional contrast between party flag (left) and party flag (right).

Silk reeling is a silk-woven handicraft with the most primitive folk mechanism combined with all-hand weaving, with real silk as the basic raw material and "warping and weft breaking" as the basic weaving method, which presents the same artistic effect of front and back pictures and colors, and even modern machines can't copy it by OEM. Silk reeling is not only expensive, but also each piece is hand-woven by craftsmen. In addition to comprehensive skills and solid foundation such as painting, calligraphy and color, we also need to work at the loom for more than ten hours every day, and few silk reeling craftsmen can persist day after day and year after year. At present, there are less than 100 people in China. For this reason, silk reeling was listed as an intangible cultural heritage by the State Council and UNESCO in 2006 and 2009 respectively.
