1Satin damask
Specifically, satin damask (anhuaduan) refers to only a self-patterned textile formed by the contrast of a satin and the reverse of a satin binding. The term is also used to describe all self-patterned textiles on a ground with a satin binding. 5-end and 8-end damask were used in China since the early 14th century and 17th century respectively. When different colours are used in the warp and weft to create a variation in tone, the damask is called shot damask (shanduan).
