Commonly used square moire decoration, and mostly made of colorful brocade, leaves reflect the sun like clouds after rain, and rainbows are scattered in the clear sky, so it is called: cloud shoulder. Yun Jian is a unique costume style in the costume culture of Han nationality, which is rich in decorative patterns, artistic symbolic language, figurative meaning of numbers and profound cultural connotations. Yun Jian is also the crystallization of the Han nationality's absorption of foreign costume culture, which is integrated and sublimated into its own national costume; Yunjian is also a model of ingenious design of plane and three-dimensional design in the history of China clothing. Cloud shoulders, also called shawls, are mostly made of satin and brocade. Most cloud shoulders are composed of four kinds of moire patterns, which are called four-in-one wishful pattern, willow pattern and lotus pattern. There are auspicious propositions such as rich peony, long life, and more than one year. It was very popular in Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was mostly used in wedding banquets and other occasions.

Yunjian is a kind of clothing developed from Sui Dynasty. It surrounds the neck and is worn on the shoulders. By the Qing Dynasty, Yun Jian had spread to all social strata, especially when getting married, and became an indispensable dress for young women. Later, when I was 20 years old or married, I wore cloud shoulders. The shape of the cloud shoulder is mostly "four in one" shape, and there are also strips. The production of cloud shoulders is generally made into two layers of eight hanging clouds, and each cloud is embroidered with flowers, birds, grass and insects, or embroidered with operas and stories.

There is no record of the formation history of Yun Jian in the literature before Qin and Han Dynasties. Judging from the clothing style, it should be influenced by the concept of nomadic people in the north, and it is a foreign clothing style. Its image data were first seen in Dunhuang frescoes in Sui Dynasty, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had been transformed in China, wore cloud shoulders. Yun Jian is very popular among the Han people. At the latest in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the "Five Clouds of Autumn" costume was popular in the upper aristocratic society, and Yun Jian dressed it like this. Yun Shoulder, although draped over the shoulders of foreign bodhisattvas in Sui and Tang Dynasties, is closely related to the Taoist thought of local culture. Although it comes from foreign national costume culture, it is turned into its own use because it worships the nature, thus becoming an ethereal and magnificent national costume culture model of "harmony between man and nature"

The big structure of the cloud shoulder is basically an abstraction of sun worship. Such as "X" radial shape, or rotating radial shape, or "M" shape symbolizing eight seasons, or the number of "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" amulet as the skeleton.

The pattern of the cloud shoulder is completely composed of artistic symbols and numbers. Although the pattern has the function of amulet, it is different from the Taoist "symbol" of exorcising ghosts and calling gods, and it is not the legacy of the "tiger symbol" of dispatching troops. Every cloud shoulder has its own theme, which is inseparable from people's good wishes for love and marriage. Because of the rich content of the cloud shoulder pattern, to understand the meaning of the cloud shoulder pattern, we must analyze and appreciate the typical legends.
