Kesi is a traditional Chinese silk tapestry-making method.

Kesi tapestry first appeared more than a thousand years ago in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907). It is famous for its detailed pictorial designs, lightness and clarity of double-sided patterns.

North China's Dingzhou City in Hebei Province is known for its Kesi craftsmanship. The Dingzhou Kesi tapestry-making method was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in June this year.
