Velvet is divided into patterned and plain types. The surface of plain velvet looks entirely like pile loops, while patterned velvet cuts some of the pile loops into pile fibers according to the pattern, forming the pattern with the alternation of pile fibers and pile loops. Patterned velvet can be further divided into "bright pattern" and "dark pattern" types. The patterns are mostly dragon clusters, phoenix clusters, five blessings with longevity, flowers and birds, and antique styles. The ground weaving often uses a sense of relief to express the pattern, with colors mainly black, dark purple, apricot yellow, blue, and brown.
