Xilankapu brocade, the traditional costume of the Tujia ethnic group, is celebrated for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns. In the Tujia language, "Xilan" means "bedspreads," and "Kapu" translates to "flowers." Thus, "Xilankapu" refers to a flower-patterned bedspread, making it a significant Tujia folk handicraft and one of China’s five famous brocades.
