To comprehensively promote the greatness of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization The new journey of rejuvenation has begun. We will give full play to the supporting and leading role of brand building, improve brand strength in multiple dimensions, and work together to draw a grand blueprint for the modern textile industry system. " Yang Zhaohua said.

"The sustainable development of cashmere industry is an integrated system from science and technology, innovation, industry and society." Xu Weilin, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Wuhan Textile University He said that Ordos, as a national and even world high-quality cashmere raw material base, currently takes the revitalization of the cashmere industry as a guide, and has built a coordinated development mechanism for the cashmere industry with "government guidance, market leadership, farmers and herdsmen as the main body, and industrialized operation", forming a cashmere industry cluster with complete supporting facilities, complete industrial chains, powerful radiation and driving force, and distinctive brand characteristics, It provides fertile soil for cashmere enterprises to take root and develop. Wuhan Textile University has made many new breakthroughs in deepening the cooperation between "government, enterprise and university" to jointly build an industrial technology research institute, promoting the transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements, and helping to enhance regional and industrial core competitiveness. It is hoped that the two sides will continue to deepen cooperation, layout the industrial chain, policy chain and talent chain around the cashmere and wool innovation chain, and add surging new momentum to Ordos's march into the "world cashmere city".

　　 Qingshui Bangbao, Vice President of the World Cashmere and Camel Manufacturers Association (CCMI) The development history of cashmere is introduced. When talking about the quality of Chinese cashmere products, he said that they are very excellent, but there are also areas that need to be improved. "China's cashmere industry still has room for improvement and challenges to address," said Qingshui Bangbao.

　　 Dai Tana, General Manager of Erdos Cashmere Garment Group Said: "The laboratory of Ordos Source Pasture is creating a breeding and feeding management mode of grassland protection and balance between grass and livestock through research on environment, climate and grassland industry, so as to increase biodiversity and protect grassland soil and vegetation. At the same time, through cooperation with the community where Source Pasture is located, it encourages the promotion of more scientific feeding methods, so that grassland and animal husbandry can continue to develop. At present, Ordos Source Pasture The researchers of the ranch have collected soil and vegetation samples of the ranch and its surrounding areas, and will further analyze them to provide a theoretical basis for future carbon emission reduction, rational use of grassland resources, and formulation of reasonable grazing policies. As a clothing brand, Ordos hopes that through the connection of products and brands, consumers will realize the concept of sustainability and understand Ordos' work and efforts in cashmere and fashion sustainability. Ordos is pleased to see that the ShanSH LaN series has received positive feedback from consumers and the market. The sales volume of this series in 2022 will increase by 50% compared with that in 2021. "

　　 "In 2023, China's epidemic prevention and control will enter a new stage, and China's wool textile industry will have room for recovery and development. However, the weak recovery of the world economy continues, and the negative effects of interest rate hikes in developed economies on economic growth continue to emerge. The performance of the domestic demand market in the peak season is lower than expected. The wool textile industry is affected by the macro-economy and the terminal market, and the supply and demand situation is not as good as the industry period After a rapid recovery, there are still obstacles in the connection of the industrial chain. The industry insists on pioneering and innovation, and achieves positive development from the low level of the previous year. " Liu Jiaqiang, President of China Wool Textile Industry Association Said when introducing the current development situation of the wool textile industry.

Looking forward to the whole year, Liu Jiaqiang believes that the market demand environment facing the wool textile industry is still complex. The current recovery momentum still needs to be further consolidated. The external demand market environment is relatively severe. The industry's export is facing multiple challenges, such as the damaged consumption capacity of foreign consumers, the slow purchase of buyers, and the deterioration of the trade environment. The further recovery of the export situation is still under pressure. The pressure on industry profitability will continue, and enterprises need to strengthen procurement and finished goods inventory management to smooth through the recovery period.

　　 New opportunities Current changes lead to cooperation

　　 Under the joint sponsorship of China Wool Textile Industry Association and Ordos Resources Co., Ltd The 8th International Cashmere Testing Technology Seminar and the Summit of Technological Innovation Strategic Alliance of Cashmere Industry On the other hand, representatives of the China Textile Industry Federation, relevant international organizations, well-known research institutions and professional institutions at home and abroad launched hot discussions around the development of cashmere detection technology and standards, research on the cutting-edge technology of informatization and intelligence, and reform and innovation of cashmere industry in a sustainable context.

"From January to May, the industrial added value and operating revenue of wool textile achieved positive growth year on year. Supported by the domestic market, the textile industry will gradually recover to a stable track of in-depth structural adjustment and high-quality development in 2023." Yang Zhaohua said that this year is the first year to comprehensively implement the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress In the year when the new journey of Chinese style modernization started, the first meeting of the just concluded 20th Central Finance and Economics Commission pointed out that accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system supported by the real economy is related to our strategic initiative in future development and international competition. It is the only way for the high-quality development of the industry to build a modern textile industrial system with integrity, advancement and safety in the direction of high-end, integration, intelligence and greening. It is hoped to further strengthen the detection technology level of cashmere industry, build effective industry university research cooperation, promote the exchange and cooperation of cashmere industry in Ordos and the whole country, actively tap the space and potential of various innovations and technological progress, and bring new scientific and technological development opportunities to the wool textile industry.

　　 Liu Jiaqiang express, "Cashmere is the most precious raw material in the field of textile, clothing and clothing, and its products enjoy a high position in the world. The sustainable development of cashmere industry is the common aspiration of the industry. At present, the international and domestic economic environment has undergone dramatic changes. With the continuous development of China's cashmere industry, it has had the foundation to further deepen cooperation with the international cashmere industry, and should be improved through continuous innovation Quality, and jointly promote the sustainable development of the international cashmere industry. Cashmere detection technology involves many disciplines and is the key technology of cashmere industry, which has an important impact on trade, manufacturing and product quality. Next, the China Wool Textile Industry Association will continue to strengthen cooperation with the Ordos Cashmere Group to push the international cashmere detection technology to a broader space. "

　　 Liu Xin, Vice President of Industrial Economics Research Institute of China Textile Industry Federation When introducing the operation of China's textile industry in the first half of 2023, he said that at present, the production situation of China's textile industry is weak, domestic demand remains warm, export scale drops, the international market competition environment is more intense, investment scale drops, and quality and efficiency pressure is obvious. She said frankly that in 2023, the textile industry will face the sluggish recovery of the world economy, and the demand side will continue to be weak; Brand inventory in the international market is still high, exacerbating the weak demand side; The procurement pattern of the international supply chain has been significantly adjusted; Challenges such as the slowdown in the driving force of fiber consumption and the slowdown in the efficiency of global textile supply also contain many opportunities: the huge scale of domestic market demand provides huge space for industry development; Domestic consumer confidence continued to stabilize; New forms and models of consumption are developing vigorously to stimulate new consumption momentum; The Belt and Road+RCEP, the export market still has a large space, etc. It needs textile industry personnel to do a good job, seize the opportunities, but also bravely meet the challenges.

"At present, Ordos Cashmere Group has accumulatively participated in the formulation of 6 international standards, 17 national standards, 23 industrial standards, and 17 green manufacturing related standards. In cashmere detection, we actively embrace the trend of intelligent development, start intelligent detection methods, and begin more accurate identification of specially treated cashmere." Tatana Said: "It has been 22 years since the first international cashmere detection technology seminar was held. In the past 22 years, we have also seen new changes in the consumer market. Consumers have more demand for cashmere products in terms of category and quality. They also pay more attention to the green and sustainable concept behind the products. At the same time, market participants are also changing, from luxury goods and mass high-end markets to The addition of FMCG brands, especially in the Chinese market, the white brand products brought by the new e-commerce platform and the KOL brand, these complex factors combined with the development of new technology, new technology, and the application of new materials, all require us to update the standards of cashmere products with the times, and at the same time, we also need the industry to stay united and calm. "

　　 New technology takes the lead and diversified technologies start

　　 Xu Weilin Firstly, the background of wool fiber detection technology was introduced. He said that fiber detection is the basis for the quality control and steady development of textile products. How to effectively identify wool and cashmere fibers is a hot issue to be solved. At present, wool/cashmere identification mainly includes morphological and structural identification, DNA probe analysis, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, near-infrared spectroscopy, identification based on local characteristics and word package model, etc. These methods are either complex or simple, or expensive or difficult to quantify, which are suitable for different detection needs. Xu Weilin introduced in detail the research achievements and progress of his research team in such technical fields as medullary cavitation method and its mechanism, fiber flexibility characterization mechanism, fiber products torsion detection technology, fiber and its products detection instruments.

　　 Fabio Garzener, President of CCMI After introducing the international cashmere camel hair manufacturers and the current situation and prospect of cashmere industry in the global context, the following statement is made: "In recent years, we have begun to pay attention to the sustainability of cashmere fiber. Because the natural fiber industry is facing many challenges, including supply chain disruption and market fluctuations. In fact, sustainability is now a fundamental, broad, variable and complex theme. The competitive value of a strong, efficient and competitive supply chain has always existed, but today only good partners and Suppliers are far from enough. Successful brands and companies are building stronger relationships with suppliers. This is not only a plan based on sustainable development standards and chain of custody requirements, but also an objective demand for something that is regarded as value. In the trend of growing value, in the era of changing consumer needs and labor relations, the importance of testing is self-evident, and the laboratory is crucial for building awareness and two-way knowledge sharing from customers to suppliers. The laboratory can explain the conformity of the product, check the quality, and ensure that it complies with the customs, health and restricted substance specifications. There are a large number of herdsmen scattered in remote areas, and their wool and cashmere products are lack of testing opportunities. We hope that our testing institutions can expand and innovate the scope of services, and solve testing problems for herdsmen through exchanges and cooperation. ".

For many years, he has devoted himself to the functional treatment of textile fibers and the research on functional design of technical textiles Professor Mao Ningtao, University of Leeds, UK He said that the standard requirements of the future market of textile and clothing are durable, reusable and free of harmful substances, and their production process and technology are full of respect for human beings and the earth. Fast fashion and disposable become the past; The future textile and clothing is 3R: repair, reuse and recycling; There is no textile waste. All (old and new) textiles and their materials are resources and should be recycled; The used clothes will not be buried or burned; A small amount of used products that need to be buried will be biodegradable. Wool and cashmere are both renewable resources and have many advantages. However, problems such as environmental impact and animal welfare also arise in the production of raw materials. When talking about how to solve these problems, Mao Ningtao said that we should reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve the way of grazing and reduce the impact on the grassland; Analyze the life cycle of wool and cashmere raw materials and their products; Certification of wool and cashmere fiber raw materials and products; Pay attention to the ecological processing (green production technology) in the production of textile industry, as well as the ecological design and recycling of wool and cashmere fabrics.

With regard to the latest progress in the research on the quality control technology of Albas cashmere, Zhang Wei, Professor of China Agricultural University Introduction: "On young cashmere goats, we used high-throughput sequencing technology and other analytical techniques to study and speculate that melatonin can adsorb miR-211 through circMPP5, regulate the expression of MAPK3, mediate the regulation of MAPK pathway, and thus promote the proliferation and differentiation of secondary hair follicle cells. So far, it can be said that melatonin can improve the secondary hair follicle density of young cashmere goats by inhibiting cell apoptosis and promoting cell differentiation through antioxidant effect Overregulation of the expression of coding genes and non coding genes promotes cell proliferation. In adult cashmere goats, the results showed that melatonin enhanced the antioxidant capacity of skin and secondary hair follicles, reduced the levels of ROS and RNS in serum and skin secondary hair follicles, increased the number of active secondary hair follicles, and improved the quality of cashmere through the Keap1-Nrf2 antioxidant pathway. At the same time, by inhibiting NF- κ The expression of B and AP-1 proteins can reduce the secretion of SASP, delay skin aging, improve the microenvironment for the survival of secondary hair follicles, increase the number of active secondary hair follicles, and improve the quality of villi. The molecular mechanism of melatonin improving the active secondary follicle density of adult cashmere goats has been preliminarily revealed, and the mechanism of melatonin's outstanding effect on aging goats has been explained.
