The qilin is a mythical composite creature of Chinese legend, blending several animals into one: a dragon's head, the scaled body and cloven hooves of a deer, and often a single horn, which is why it is sometimes called the Chinese unicorn. Here it forms a quiet conversation with the peony, the auspicious beast of virtue beside the flower of wealth and honour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Story Behind the Bag\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Chinese tradition, \u003cstrong\u003ethe qilin is a gentle creature of good omen\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The \u003cstrong\u003epeony, the King of Flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e, carries its own blessing of wealth and honour (富贵), celebrated since the Tang court as the nation's beauty and heaven's fragrance (国色天香).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven together, the two form a single wish.

The pattern is not printed onto the cloth. It is built thread by thread on the loom, which is why the gold catches the light along the qilin's body and the petals hold their depth from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold here is a \u003cstrong\u003egilt effect (鎏金)\u003c\/strong\u003e, achieved with a new gold thread that lets the qilin and the peony illuminate one another against the black ground, lending the whole piece a noble, regal warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis brocade comes from the workshop of Lu Meiying (陆美瑛), a Suzhou Arts and Crafts Master and a representative inheritor of the Song Brocade tradition, who trained under the celebrated national master Wang Jinshan (王金山).
