(ECNS)--How were the "dragon garments" for ancient emperors made? This 5.6-meter-long, 4-meter-tall weaving machine is the secret.

Two workers must cooperate in operating the machine. But they can only add up to 10 cm to the length of the cloth daily. Cloth made in this way is priced 15,000 yuan (2200 USD) per linear meter.
