Gauze Drying Ground
On the Xiangyunsha drying field, rows of taut Xiangyunsha silk are laid out under the blazing sun, resembling vast, unfolding scrolls. Workers busily adjust the position and angle of the silk, ensuring that each piece receives sunlight evenly. The sun shining through the fibers brings out the silk’s unique luster and texture.
