The origin of silk in China is basically the same as that of silk. Taihu Lake Basin in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is the largest silk producing area in China, accounting for half of the country's output. Mainly concentrated in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huzhou, known as the three major silk markets. Followed by Shaoxing, Nanjing, Jiaxing, Zhenjiang and Changzhou. Sichuan Basin is the second largest silk producing area in China, and the output of raw silk is second only to that of Zhejiang. The third largest silk producing area is in the Pearl River Delta, with yarn and silk as the main products.
China's ancient Silk Road is famous for China's silk exported to East Asia, Central Asia and even Europe, while China's silk originated in the south of the Yangtze River.
China and China were the hometown of silk in ancient times, with the Silk Road.
China was the first country to plant mulberry, raise silkworms and produce silk products. Archaeological discoveries in various parts of China in recent years show that silk production technology has developed to a fairly high level from Shang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty and Warring States Period, as evidenced by the ancient Silk Road.
The story is recorded in Shu Tu Jing, Search for Ji Shen, Silkworm Horse in Early Thailand, Er Shen Forgotten, Chengping Guangforgotten and other materials.
Legend has it that Lei Zu, the princess of the Yellow Emperor, found a silk-swallowing silkworm on a mulberry tree and wrapped herself back. Inspired by this, she began to learn to raise silkworms and fry them to make clothes. The fruit of the former was passed on to her descendants, so everyone worshipped it as a god, saying that the later silkworm was the last one to raise silkworms.
Legend has it that when he was at home, the father of a son of Shu was taken captive, and only the red horse he rode came back. His father was very sad. He swore:
If anyone can save his wife from the teacher's loan, let her children be betrothed to him At this time, the red horse next to him heard him lying on the ground, and his cry became smaller, so he threw off the reins and galloped away. Without much help, Marvin returned to the wild with his father, but when he saw this scene, he regretted it and stopped talking about marrying his father.
Since then, the red horse can't afford to bray all day long. His father took a hard bite, that is, he abandoned the arrow and shot the horse, peeling it high and hanging it on the table in the yard.
The girl had a clear conscience when she saw this scene, but the horse skin suddenly flew down and took her away and disappeared.
One night a few days ago, I found this girl in a tree. I saw that the horse skin was still firmly wrapped around her, but her tail didn't look like a ponytail. She was crawling on the branch, swallowing shiny thick silk and wrapping herself.
At first, the savage abandoned the main tree and raised it, and the history of sericulture began.
If the girl hadn't lost her life under the tree, at first we called this tree body double Sang (the homonym of mourning), and because it always entangled itself with silk rings, would you still imagine that my long hair was covered with beautiful tweed pants, so my master called it dry silkworm (the homonym of abandoning entanglement)?
In order to thank this girl for bringing silk brocade to people, people used to call her the silkworm god and the ponytail mother or the horsehead god.
In the silkworm area of Jiangbei, we call her the queen of silkworm flowers, and the horse is the king and bodhisattva.
China is the first country in the world to raise silkworms and make silk products. Jiangnan has always been an important producing area of China silk industry. It is impossible to verify when silk originated, but it has been regarded as a tribute to the south of the Yangtze River since the Tang Dynasty. Although the silk quilt is pure natural and green, with incomparable performance of other quilts, it has not been popularized because of the constraints of raw materials, production technology and other factors, and has only become a luxury of the royal family. By the 1990s, silk quilt has gained a good reputation among the people, but the price and manufacturing technology are still the bottlenecks restricting its development, and it is only a tiny branch of the silk industry. As a local enterprise in Hangzhou, Reed Bedding knew the preciousness of silk from the very beginning when 1998 was founded. When China's silk industry is gradually declining, inheriting the essence of the ancients and taking traditional silk as a new idea and new field of enterprise development have opened up new prospects for the development of China's silk industry.
