Xiangyunsha silk (traditional Chinese: 香雲紗; simplified Chinese: 香云纱; pinyin: Xiāng-yún-shā) or Gambiered Guangdong silk[1] is a type of silk originating in the 5th century[2] from Guangdong province (also known as Canton) in China[1] that is created by dyeing silk with gambier juice and covering it in soil[3] from the Pearl River,[4] resulting in a copper color on one side and a black color on the other.[5]
