"K'o-ssu" means "cut silk", as the technique uses short lengths of weft thread that are tucked into the textile. Only the weft threads are visible in the finished fabric. Unlike continuous weft brocade, in k'o-ssu each colour area was woven from a separate bobbin, making the style both technically demanding and time-consuming.

K'o-ssu first appeared during the Tang Dynasty (618芒鈧��907), and became popular in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127芒鈧��1279), reaching its height during the Ming dynasty (1368芒鈧��1644). The style continued to be popular until the early 20th century, and the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1911芒鈧��12.
