The Dao ethnic woman sat quietly by the wooden door frame, her thin hands skillfully moving each needle on the brocade fabric. Her silver hair was dotted with a traditional scarf, her face was clearly wrinkled by time but her eyes were still bright and focused. The quiet space further highlighted the industrious and patient beauty of the highland women, evoking the preciousness of brocade embroidery - a cultural quintessence preserved through many generations.
