Ancient silk fabrics are basically named according to fabric texture, fabric pattern and fabric color. Many of the old names of modern silk, such as crepe, damask, thu and silk, also use some foreign words, such as georgette and taffeta. According to the organization structure, raw materials, processing technology, texture, appearance and main use of silk fabrics, it can be divided into ten categories, including yarn, silk, silk, spun silk, silk, crepe, brocade, satin, thu, ge, tweed, velvet and silk.

1. Yarn: It is a yarn woven silk fabric, also known as plain yarn, which is wholly or partially made of uniformly distributed eyelets (i.e. "eyelets") formed by warping.

2. Luo: All or part of the Luo weave silk fabric with pepper holes after warping each other. It can be divided into Zhiluo, Hengluo, Hualuo and Suluo.

3. Silk fabric: silk fabric with twill weave or twill change weave and oblique weave on the surface of the fabric is light and thin. The surface of the fabric in the early period was in the shape of mountains and twills. "It looks like ice", so it is called damask.

5. Spinning: It is a light and soft silk fabric with plain weave, untwisted or weakly twisted warp and weft.

6. Brocade: colorful yarn-dyed jacquard silk fabric made of heavy weave and multicolor silk thread. Brocade is a famous jacquard silk. It has been said in ancient times that "weaving and picking is the text, and its price is like gold". There are Shu brocade, Song brocade and cloud brocade.
