The varieties, colors and patterns became abundant: a large number of marvelous patterns, Flowers, the red lined lion and phoenix brocade. Animal designs in pairs highlighted the feature. They included pheasant games, playing sheep, flying phoenix and other animals. At that time, only high officials and noble lords could afford to enjoy the use of brocade.
