### Summary
Traditional brocade is highly valued in China.
This news article is about Huang Yangwei's contribution to the brocade weaving traditions of China. As a male, brocade weaving is seen as an unusual pastime for Yangwei, but he has persisted with the weaving which started out as a hobby for him before he studied formally. He now hopes to take his creations beyond China and help grow appreciation for brocade traditions globally.
