Gambiered canton gauze – commonly known as Xiangyunsha or mud-silk is one of the world-renowned textiles developed from the long-established Lingnan culture of China. In recognition of its significant cultural value, the craftsmanship of gambiered canton gauze was inscribed onto the National Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of China in 2008.

In league with "Appreciation of Intangible Cultural Heritage Through Constructive Design Research - The Craftsmanship of Gambiered Canton Gauze", the School of Fashion and Textiles of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University is organizing a namesake research exhibition, showcasing the brilliance of Xiangyunsha through creative interpretations, including 15+ original designs and rare collection of mud-silk garments.

On display is a creative evolution of this traditional textile, expanding the potential of classic patterns and exploring new uses for gambiered canton gauze. This exhibition offers a modern reimagining of heritage fabrics, seamlessly merging folk wisdom and traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics.
