silk

It has a long history of production, with a large variety of silk and famous names. It occupies a prominent position in the history of silk culture in China and the world.

As far back as the pre Qin period, the southern and southern reaches of the Yangtze River and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were already relatively concentrated areas of sericulture and silk production in China. Since the Han Dynasty, three famous brocade and three famous embroideries have appeared in these areas where silk production has always been developed. They are outstanding representatives of Chinese silk culture.

Since the beginning of Song Dynasty, the focus of silk production in China has shifted southward. Jiangnan, Sichuan and the Yellow River basins have become the three major centers of silk production in China.

Jiangnan

From the region to the Ming Dynasty, it became the most important silk production base in China. The commercialization of silkworm and silk production started early and the degree was high. Silk as the main form of communication and played a very important role in the great circulation of the world economy.

From 138 BC to 119 BC, Zhang Qian served the life of Emperor Wu of Han and the two western regions, opening up the international community of China and the West.

Land route

From then on, a "Silk Road" which started from Changan, through the Hexi Corridor and Xinjiang today, arrived in Central Asia, Western Asia and even Europe.

Through this ancient East-West trade passage across the Asian continent, trade between China and foreign countries, mainly from second Century to ninth Century BC, was very frequent, facilitated the cultural exchange between the East and the West and the economic prosperity all over the country, especially played a great role in the westward spread of Chinese sericulture and silk technology.

After the Han Dynasty, the silk road was once again valued in the Tang Dynasty.

The rulers of the Tang Dynasty took Han as a model. Their open consciousness led them to participate in the "international economic cycle".

In Changan, there are often one hundred thousand foreign giants under the guidance of the idea of "businessmen coming while people are making profits".

Changan, Yangzhou, Guangzhou and other cities have become international trade centers, among which Changan is the largest.

The unprecedented development of foreign trade has greatly promoted the development and prosperity of the social economy in the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty did not seem to be satisfied with the Silk Road opened up in the Han Dynasty. After working together with the people of Arabia (Dashi), they opened up a maritime Silk Road.

The establishment of the maritime Silk Road strengthened the maritime ties between the Tang Dynasty and the Central Asian and eastern Mediterranean banks.

The simultaneous opening of the land and sea business Canal opened up a stronger sense of opening to the outside world in the Tang Dynasty.

The coexistence of the Silk Road on the sea and the Silk Road on the ground strongly promoted the social and economic development of the Tang Dynasty. Even the Tang Dynasty paid special attention to the status of silk weaving in the textile industry. Thus, silk weaving centers such as Henan and Hebei came into being, and silk fabrics with local characteristics were formed. Such as silk fabrics, Yizhou (now Sichuan Chengdu) Jinzhou and Yangzhou's gowns, such as song Zhou (now Henan Shangqiu) and milky way (now Anhui Sichuan), they all have a high reputation in the whole country.

It is no doubt that although ancient China's foreign exchanges were pioneers in silk, it spread far more than silk. It was in the culture and wisdom of the Chinese nation with the help of silk.

Along with the silk trade, the Chinese nation's civilization is constantly moving towards the world. Papermaking, printing, gunpowder and compass have brought great changes to the world.

China is the origin of silkworm eggs, and a great silk country in the world. It is known as the "Oriental silk country".

The discovery of silkworm value makes the Chinese people pay special attention to the production of silk weaving industry.

Silk weaving technology has reached a very high level in the Shang Dynasty.

This article analyzes the silk fabrics unearthed from Shang Dynasty ruins in Gaocheng's West Village, and points out: "the slaves who engaged in silk production in the Shang Dynasty have discovered the unique properties of silk from long-term production practice, and skillfully designed and made such silk fabrics with elasticity and lightness and pparency by using the developed silk training technology at that time.

After more than three thousand years of development, this silk fabric is still one of the high quality silk fabrics.

"Obviously, the silk weaving technology of the Shang Dynasty is beyond doubt.

The silk weaving process created a more exquisite silk fabric under the influence of strong aesthetic consciousness.

Zhou Dai silk weaving technology has been further developed. In addition to the "silk silk", the Zhou Dynasty also has "silk silk", "silk silk" "dyed people", "silk silk" "silk" "scarf", from cooking silk, silk to silk to form a strict management system, and a strict social division of labor.

"Zhou Li Dong Guan Kao Gong Ji" Yun: "painting performance, miscellaneous colors.

The green and red words, the red and white, the white and the black, the black and the green.

Five prepare for embroidery.

Miscellaneous four time five colors of the position to the chapter of the clever, all tied after the painting.

"From a broad perspective, the chapters, hex, embroidery and so on are all texts. The regular interweaving of different colors indicates that Zhou Dai's silk weaving industry has reached a new level.

When did the brocade technology happen? We don't know it now, but from Book of Songs, we know that tapestry was well developed in the Western Zhou Dynasty at least in the spring and Autumn period.

The "Jin Qi Xi" is "Bei Jin", "the corner pillow is charming, the brocade is rotten", "the brocade tiger clothing, the dress brocade tiger clothing", the brocade's uses are very widespread, "Book of Songs" to the brocade's intense interest indicated that this complex weaving craft has been generally grasped by the society, has become the female weaving universal social behavior.

The emergence of this colorful silk weaving not only hints at a major breakthrough in China's silk weaving technology, but also its rich varieties and wide uses indicate that the silk weaving industry has made rapid progress in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period.
