C. 771), where located in Jiang county, Shanxi province, excavated the Huangwei which were impressed on the soil. The impressed mark provided a good chance to understand ancient Huangwei. For the impressed mark on the soil, optical microscope SEM – EDS, XRD, Raman and Congo – red staining method were used to extract related information. The results show that the textile is tabby fabric with warp and weft densities about 38 × 24 cm2, the red pigment was cinnabar, and the yellow pigment perhaps is yellow ochre. And it also indicated that cooked starch was binding material between silk and cinnabar, and this agreed to literature record. This work shows that analysis of the textile marks will reveal considerable details, and it deserves to get enough emphasis.
