The life story of Huang Dao Po, a woman who revolutionized the Chinese textile industry. A Weaver on the Horizon is a Chinese television series based on the life story of Huang Daopo, who revolutionized the textile industry during the Mongol conquest of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. The story is considered to be historical fiction, as the plot deviates from factual accounts and contains elements of wuxia and romance. A central theme of feminism is also present, as more focus is placed on the female protagonists than their male counterparts. The series originally aired in China on Nanning Television on August 14, 2010 and ran for 36 episodes.
