Wang Zhongwen walks visitors through the history of Li brocade at a museum in Beijing in 2024.

Wang admits that he was not as meticulous or orderly as his female counterparts, but the learning process made him more focused, improving his skills over time.

Additionally, as a male practitioner, Wang delivers a distinctive approach.

"My color choices are often bolder, with deeper, more saturated tones," he explains.

"I also focus more on simplicity in the lines and patterns, allowing the raw power and beauty of the designs to stand out."
