The silk weaving pattern technique and artistry involved in Yuan Qu reflects the cultural phenomenon of traditional hand-woven things through literary and artistic forms of Chinese classical opera,which can also be regarded as a type of preservation and presentation of historical material for textiles.By adopting the methodology of"mutual verification between opera and history",the representative events relating to silk weaving pattern technique and artistry based on Yuan Qu works were analyzed.The article believes that there is a certain correspondence between the jacquard weaving phenomenon presented by Yuan Qu and the silk weaving process and its fabrics in reality.The events related to"Zhuang-hua"and"Zhuang-jin"in Yuan Qu suggest the origin of the names of relevant silk fabrics in later generations.The technological characteristics and usage reflected in the events related to"Zhi-cheng"and"Ke-si"in Yuan Qu are in line with reality.Although the only case pointed to"Gai-ji"in Yuan Qu is different from the records of the Ming Dynasty,it suggests the common method of clothing processing among folk in the Yuan Dynasty.Most of the events related to the silk weaving and pattern artistry in Yuan Qu were given by opera authors according to the actual characteristics of silk weaving technique and product,which led to inspiration for the formation of terminology for corresponding silk fabrics in later generations,and to circulation and recognition through the wide spread of Yuan Qu among the folk.
