Yang Panhong and her husband, Yang Dongye, are determined to preserve the traditional Songjiang cloth through opening an art gallery in Shanghai. The gallery boasts an extensive collection comprising more than 5,000 rolls of Songjiang cloth, and sells creative products made from the fabric, such as dolls, clothes and bags.[Photo provided to China Daily]

"Students posted their experiences on their social media accounts after attending our exhibitions. More and more people have since turned up at our gallery. A visitor once even bought products for his relatives living overseas," she says.

"We will endeavor to preserve the legacy of Songjiang cloth and further study its history and techniques. I think we will see more people come to appreciate this craft in the next five years."
