Growing Ponytail Fibers In "Cold"

Horsetail fiber belongs to natural animal protein fiber. In industry, most of them belong to animal hair bristles.

According to the different growth parts, the horsetail fiber can be divided into horse hair, horse tail hair and horse mane.

In addition, Mongolia horse hair, Holland horse hair and Siberia horse hair can be classified according to the breed and origin of horses.

It can also be divided into white horse tail, flower horse tail, Ama O and so on.

The horsetail fiber has been widely exploited and used by our ancestors in ancient times.

In the Northern Qi Dynasty, Jia Sixie mentioned in the Qi Min Yao Shu sauce method, "Qu and Huang steamed, each of the ramming ends, fine thin, horsetail Luo Mi Hao."

Here is a sieve for filtering medicinal materials made from horsetail hair.

However, with the speeding up of our modernization process, horsetail fiber and its fabric are very strange to many people.

However, the horsetail fiber is still closely related to our daily life.

For example, the bow with horsetail hair, horsetail decorative cloth, horsetail handicraft, horsetail lining, horsetail yarn and other products are showing a vibrant development momentum.

The most familiar "strange" fiber is invisible.

Horsetail fiber is undoubtedly a very small classification in animal protein fiber.

For a long time, because its application scope is small, its output is small, and ordinary consumers know little, it leads to its "popularity" naturally smaller.

However, in fact, there is a kind of horsetail hair fiber products, which is basically known by the broad masses of the people.

Everyone who likes novels knows that Mr. Jin Yong has a brilliant master of martial arts. He is Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang school.

The old gentleman must appear to be a crane and a child with a beautiful brush.

When confronted with evil people, the old man's whisk turned into an invincible weapon immediately.

The whisper of conversation is like a long hairline, wrapped around a root in a moment and looks very ordinary but extremely powerful edge to match the opponent.

In fact, in ancient times, the "magic dust" required by Taoists was made of white horsetail hair.

In addition, in the old days, the application of the horsetail hair was more extensive in China.

From ancient times to now, "poetry to express aspiration and song to chant emotion" is what scholars and scholars take delight in.

In the romance of the west chamber, Zhang Sheng chased Cui Yingying to the most critical moment when he was poor in technology, but when he was helpless, he took out the piano he carried with him and played a piece of "Phoenix seeking Phoenix".

Zhang Sheng, though not as handsome and brilliant as Sima Xiangru, finally won the hearts of beautiful women by his voice.

The string of "let the lovers get married" is also made from horsetail hair fiber.

Whether it is the empty city of Zhuge Kongming, or the leader of the Seven Sages of the bamboo grove, Ji Kang's ancient song "Guangling San" before the death revealed that Qin played an important role in ancient China.

So now we can hardly imagine what kind of ancient Chinese culture without horsetail hair fiber will be.

Time flies, time is like song.

When we entered the modern society, the application of various kinds of chemical fiber substitutes reduced the application of horsetail fiber.

Especially in the long period before the reform and opening up, the application of horsetail fiber can be said to have encountered unprecedented impact.

In that very period, the only use of horsetail fiber was to supply the production of musical instruments in China.

At that time, the purchasing staff of the state musical instrument factory in big cities needed to carry a letter of introduction containing the official seal of the unit to the state owned supply and Marketing Cooperative in the producing area.

The horsetail fiber produced by the herdsmen can only be made through the only channel of supply and marketing cooperatives.

It is undeniable that the planned economy mode largely restricts the development of the whole industry chain of horsetail fiber.

After reform and opening up, textile

There were no major breakthroughs until 90s of last century, when technology and equipment were lagged behind.

However, at this time, the "Mawei embroidery" of the ethnic minority handicrafts of the ethnic minorities in China is blooming with extraordinary radiance.

Aqua horsetail embroidery is a kind of embroidery made by Shui nationality women with horsetail as an important raw material from generation to generation. It has its own unique production techniques and methods.

Embroidery has a sense of relief, which is abstract, generalized and exaggerated.

Horsetail embroidery is mainly used for making straps and embroidered shoes for children, women's waist and chest cards, children's caps, purse and so on.

In the eighty and 90s of last century, the aquarium horsetail embroidery was deeply influenced by foreign businessmen from Europe, America, Japan and Korea because of its deep historical details and mysterious patterns.

At one time, Mawei embroidery became the fist product of local export earning foreign exchange, and sold well all over the world.

Later, the aquarium horsetail embroidery was selected as the first batch of state-level intangible cultural heritage list, which brought better opportunities for the protection of this ancient primitive art.

However, it is regrettable that with the development of society and the change of consumers' aesthetic values, etc.

Today, aquarium horsetail embroidery technology inheritance not only has serious fault phenomenon, but the quality of horsetail embroidery has also declined rapidly.

Caused the aquarium horsetail embroidery is basically lost in technology, the market is difficult to see the product is going to disappear.

Needless to say, horsetail fiber and its products have witnessed every process of the development of the Chinese nation from ancient times to the present.

Even in today's highly developed science and technology, the voice produced by horsetail fibers is still comparable to chemical fibers instead of fibers.

Although the horsetail fiber industry is small, but in casual "corner" still tenaciously deducing its own legend.

Lost and found, there are old fibers.

In ancient China, almost all products related to horsetail fiber were made by handcraft, and they were also inherited by master, son and son.

This inheritance mode did maintain the continuity of horsetail fiber technology for a long time, but after entering the modern society, this mode was too single because of its inheritance channels.

With the rapid development of the economy and the ever-changing consumption concept, it is impacted by other industries, high incomes and fast becoming rich.

The traditional production process of horsetail fiber products in China has been faced with the dilemma of being unsuccessed or even dying out since reform and opening up.

How can we make many traditional handicrafts in China?

It has always been one of the focuses of attention that products are renewed.

Specifically, to the horsetail fiber products, let it once again enter people's eyes, and become the main income of the local rural surplus labor to do sideline business, but it stems from a long time order.

Let's turn our attention to Anping County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province, which is called "the hometown of Chinese silk screen".

Anping screen exports accounted for more than eighty percent of the country's share, basically forming a "world screen to see China, China's silk screen look at Anping" industrial structure.

Zhao Shifeng, 31, is a native born Anping man. Although he is not very old, he has had 10 years of foreign trade in horsetail fiber products.

From his grandfather's generation, his family has been engaged in the production and processing business of horsetail and horsetail.

The time also goes back to 2000, when Zhao Shifeng, who had just followed his elders to enter the Mawei fiber industry, received a purchase order from a Japanese company.

The company ordered about 3000 "horse tail Luo" at one time.

However, in the face of this attractive order, Zhao Shifeng is not happy at all.

It turned out that although the Japanese company gave the price of "Mawei Luo", it was very expensive.

However, Zhao Shifeng almost ran to every village in the town and did not see the shadow of a horse tail Luo.

"Mawei Luo" is a very old traditional handicraft product in China. It refers to a sieve with horsetail or horsetail.

According to historical records, Hebei Anping is the birthplace and main production and distribution center of Mawei Luo.

In the past, because the Hutuo River in Anping was often flooded and crops were not collected, the production of horsetail fabrics, especially Mawei Luo, became an important means of livelihood for the people.

It is understood that the production of Mawei Luo is the first choice of black hair, white, gray, and four colors.

Then put the horsetail in the pot and boil it with water, then rinse it with water.

The white horsetail hair must be washed with water added with special substances to prevent yellowing after use.

After that, the horsetail tail is dried or dried in the sun. Then the horsetail hair is combed, tied and chopped on the nail board.

Finally, these horsetail hair will be woven into a large horsetail cloth with a small wooden pedal loom.

People used to crush grain with roller or stone mill and then sifting and filtering it with horsetail.

After the tail of the horse tail is sieved, the coarser grain particles are removed, and people can get better corn flour and flour.

Zhao Shifeng was very surprised that he could not find products in his hometown.

When he regretted that the order was not available, he could not see the money, and he began to notice all kinds of information about Maoru Luo.

In the twinkling of an eye, several years passed quickly.

One day, Zhao Shifeng was riding on a motorcycle near the town fair.

The market in China's rural areas has always been so busy that people have put their own grain, vegetables and specialty products on both sides of the road.

Suddenly, Zhao Shifeng found a piece of plastic cloth lying on the ground with a long tail horse tail.

Zhao Shifeng quickly stopped the car and came up to the stall to pick up the horse's tail.

Along with the clue of this horse's tail Luo, Zhao Shifeng pursued all the way, and finally found his weaver in a small farm of Anping County.

The sun shone through the cracks between the leaves of the jujube leaves in the courtyard, and sprinkled the sunlight in this peaceful courtyard.

The 80 year old Mrs. Zhao Rongqi is sitting on the doorstep stepping on the loom.

On the ground next to the old man, there were several pieces of horsetail that had been preliminarily woven.

Mrs. Zhao Rongqi began learning to weave horsetail at the age of 12.

It is said that it is weaving all the way from the mother's home to the husband's family. The food, clothing, living things and even houses of a small family are woven by her shuttle and shuttle.

When Zhao Shifeng found the old lady, she invited her to weave the horse tail Luo, and the product was bought at a higher price than the market.

Later, in chatting, she learned that Mrs. Zhao not only loved Mawei Luo's weaving but also wanted to spread her skills.

{page_break}

In fact, there are more or less women in the Anping area who have a bit of age.

However, the Mawei Luo's weaving is not only done by hand, but also with various processes and complicated processes.

Moreover, in many places, the traditional Mawei Luo has been replaced by various metal screens, and the market has been rapidly shrinking, and the product sales are not good.

So for a long time, we have gradually stopped the production of Mawei Luo.

However, Japanese merchants are seeing the natural, non polluting and harmless nature of Mawei Luo, which is mainly used for screening materials directly used in human body, such as medicinal materials, refined grains and so on, in their domestic market.

At the same time, Japan has long been importing to China because it will not manufacture Mawei Luo's skills and high production costs.

However, because of the shrinking production of Mawei Luo, its import volume is seriously insufficient, so the price of Mawei Luo is very expensive in the Japanese market.

On the one hand, there is a huge demand in foreign markets. On the other hand, there is a surplus of local labor force. At the same time, Mr. Zhao's "senior" technical personnel will let Zhao Shifeng find business opportunities.

So he set out to find the site, organize manpower, and add equipment to start the mass production of Mawei Luo.

At the same time, he also asked Mrs. Zhao to introduce some techniques and knocks on the textile machiros to the rural women invited.

As a result, these farm women can not only spend their spare time weaving, but also constantly improve their technical ability and the quality of Mawei Luo.

With more and more local ginseng and the industrial chain of Ma Luo Luo's production and sales, Anping's horsetail fiber industry has begun to gradually restore its past vitality.

After forming a certain scale of production, the horsetail hair fiber product has attracted more international and domestic customers to come to procurements.

Therefore, Anping's horsetail fiber industry has embarked on a virtuous circle since then.

In the first half of the first half of the year, the emperor did not bear the heart of the man, and in the first half of the year, he exported a million yuan to the horse tail and other products related to the horse tail brush, the horse tawei make-up brush and the horse tail wool fiber.

Like some other ancient textile and clothing products in our country, maudluo has also been impacted by the development of new technology, new technology, new material and even new consumption concept as the society develops.

After the same silence, Mawei Luo relies on his own outstanding new energy and the diligent exploration and pursuit of all the industry.

Finally, it has been revitalized and revitalized. This experience is worthy of reference to other traditional textile and garment industries in China, especially those listed as intangible cultural heritage.

To build up high-quality natural fibers

Horsetail fiber has been applied to modern clothing products for decades. At present, it is generally used as accessories for garments.

It is understood that the modern high-grade suits, women's clothing interlining and shoulder lining are basically made of natural horsetail hair interlining.

Horsetail interlining is a woven fabric made of natural black, white and white horsetail yarn, woven with cotton or polyester cotton yarn.

Because of its elasticity, good shape, breathability, almost no shrinkage and strong crease resistance, horsetail yarn has become a synonym for raw materials of high-grade garment interlining.

However, China's wool textile and garment industry has long been the main direction of processing wool, rabbit hair and other common fibers.

At the same time, the performance of horsetail hair fiber and wool fiber is very different.

As a result, the production process and equipment of horsetail hair fiber are relatively special, so the production and processing of horsetail fiber enterprises in our country are relatively few at present.

Therefore, the output of horsetail fiber products is also very limited, and products are often in short supply.

On the one hand, there is a large demand for the high-end clothing industry. On the other hand, the output is seriously insufficient. This naturally causes some illegal traders to take the risk of trying to win the law in pursuit of huge profits.

After the Spring Festival of 2012, Zhang Wanneng, a senior student of Chinese Department of a normal university in Xihua, went to an internship.

In order to finish his first job on campus better, he felt that he could buy a suit of top suit and wrap it up himself.

So he took advantage of his leisure time in the evening to choose the more concentrated pedestrian street in the brand suit store.

In a store, the salesman told him that he used the horsetail lining and did not deform. Zhang Wanneng bought a suit of black suit for more than 2000 yuan.

However, after wearing dry cleaning, wrinkle and deformation appear.

Zhang Wanneng immediately found the merchant theory, but the businessman refused to pay for the suit caused by the appearance of dry cleaning.

Later, he found a complaint from the local consumers association.

But even the conciliation Union did not get any results.

Finally, he was told if he wanted to decide whether it was dry cleaning or clothing itself.

We can only buy a suit of the same style and batch and send it to the relevant department for testing before it can be finalized.

However, the price of 2000 yuan and the cost of testing are undoubtedly enormous economic pressure for an ordinary student who has not really stepped out of school yet.

In desperation, Zhang Wanneng could only admit his bad luck and eat a dumb loss.

Fiber quality has always been the top priority of textile and clothing products, especially for the products of horsetail hair fibers which belong to the minority.

When the vast majority of consumers do not understand its characteristics and advantages, it is not conducive to the subsequent development of this fiber.

In addition, we have a big gap with other advanced countries in terms of production technology and equipment research and development.

It is understood that China's enterprises mainly use semi mechanical horsetail yarn wrapping machine can only use more than 30 centimeters of horsetail bristles, while spinning a ton of horsetail yarn requires 100 workers to work for a month.

The advanced equipment of some foreign enterprises is all the use of horsetail bristles above 18 centimeters, and only 6 workers can finish half a month for spinning a ton of horsetail yarn.

In fact, whether it is production efficiency or product quality, the gap between domestic Mawei wool fiber industry and advanced countries is obvious.

However, due to the rapid development of domestic market due to stimulating domestic demand, it has just given a good opportunity for China's horsetail hair fiber industry to catch up.

As long as we increase our R & D efforts and strive to learn from new technologies and pay close attention to product quality, we believe that in the near future, the Mawei wool fiber industry will develop rapidly.
