The History Of China's Textile Industry Has A Long History.

From the earliest production in the world Spin One of the countries of the world, the largest textile producer in the world, has contributed to its own wisdom and the nutrition of the world in the ancient and modern textile time tunnel. Bright and continuous.

China is one of the first countries to produce textiles in the world. As early as in primitive society, people have collected wild pueraria, linen, silk and so on, and have made use of the birds and animal feathers that they hunt, rubbing, writing, weaving and becoming coarse. clothes To replace the grass and the hide of the shelter.

In the later period of primitive society, with the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, people gradually learned the methods of artificial production of textile raw materials, such as raising rope, raising wool and raising silkworms, and using more tools. Some tools were made up of some parts, others were a part with several uses, which greatly improved labor productivity. At that time, textile patterns and colors were applied. At that time all the tools were directly operated by human hands, so they were called primitive manual textiles.

From the Xia Dynasty to the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, textile production had developed greatly in quantity and quality. The quality of raw materials has been further improved, and the textile combination tools have evolved into primitive handwoven machines such as reeling machines, spinning machines, looms and so on through long-term improvement. Some textile producers are becoming more specialized, so their handicrafts are becoming more and more sophisticated, and the process of reeling, spinning, weaving and dyeing is gradually matched. Textiles become a great deal of goods and sometimes become the medium of exchange, playing the role of money. Product specifications have gradually come from rough to meticulous standards. In the two dynasties of Shang and Zhou dynasties, silk weaving technology developed rapidly, and the silk fabrics were very exquisite in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. The diversified weaving patterns and rich colors made silk fabrics a very famous and noble material.

From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the late Qing Dynasty, silk has been famous for its special products in China. The raw material of textile has been changed several times: from Han to Tang, Ge gradually replaced linen; Song Zhiming, Ma was replaced by cotton. At the same time, manual textile machinery has gradually developed and improved, and there have been many forms: for example, reeling cars and spinning cars have developed from hand-held single spindle to multiple ingots (3~5 spindles per unit), and looms have two types of prime machine and flower machine. The flower machine has developed two types: multi heald, multi step (pedal) and bundle ensemble. After the Song Dynasty, the spinning wheel appeared to adapt to the multi spindle production of collectivization workshop. In some areas, the "water to large spinning wheel" using natural power also appeared. The spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing processes are becoming more and more mature, and the fabrics are various. The main fabric weaves (plain, twill and satin) that have been known now have all appeared in the Song Dynasty. Silk fabrics have not only maintained the status of high-grade products, but also continuously produced arts and crafts textiles for ornamental purposes. In the two dynasties of Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, cotton textile technology developed rapidly, and people's daily clothing was gradually changed from linen to cotton cloth.

In the latter half of the eighteenth Century, Western Europe developed power machine textile on the basis of hand-made textiles, gradually formed a collectivized mass production textile factory system, and extended it to other industries, which greatly improved the social productivity. Western European countries have shipped large quantities of "yarn" and "foreign cloth" to China. Since 1870, China has introduced European textile technology and started modern large-scale textile factories.

After the founding of new China, textile production developed rapidly. Cotton spinning With the rapid expansion of scale, the development of wool, linen and silk has also been developed accordingly. Textile technology has also been improved, and there has been a complete set of machinery and equipment for textile dyeing and finishing, and chemical fiber production has also developed rapidly. In the 50s and 60s of last century, China began a large-scale and planned economic construction. In the early stage of large-scale industrial production, the main introduction of foreign technology is mainly, with the gradual improvement of textile technology, gradually realized self-reliance, large-scale innovation and improvement, and developed into the largest textile producing country in the world.
