云锦是一种中国传统提花丝织锦缎，为南京特产。因其图案绚丽、纹饰华美如天上云霞而得名，与四川蜀锦、苏州宋锦并称“中国三大名锦”。云锦至今有约1600年的历史。东晋义熙十三年（417年）在建康设锦署，被认为是云锦正式诞生的标志。从元代开始，云锦一直为皇家服饰御用贡品。清代设有“江宁织造署”。云锦织造工艺是中国传统束综提花机中最复杂的一种，采用15世纪发明的云锦妆花环形大花楼木织机由两人配合织造。云锦有“织金”、“库锦”、“库缎”、“妆花”等主要品种流传至今。现在南京设有南京云锦研究所进行云锦的织作和研究。

Yunjin, also called cloud brocade, is a traditional Chinese silk brocade made in Jiangsu since the end of the Song dynasty, and based on weft-weaving techniques from both the Song and Tang dynasties. It is shuttle-woven, and often incorporates gold and silver threads with the coloured silks. During the Ming dynasty, the yunjin weavers developed a technique of swivel weaving that enabled them to weave colourful designs onto a base fabric in other weaves, such as satin. Nanjing Yunjin Museum is currently the only specialized museum in Yunjin.
