"The moving point of the" Splendid Annals "is that they can gather together and open up. 'This kind of touching does not make you cry and laugh, but it makes you feel that the world is so wonderful and human beings are so smart."
Silk is the first invention that made China famous in the world. Silk is the first invention that made China famous in the world. China is different because of silk. Silkworm's silk is only 0.02mm. The word "thin" that we know today was used by the ancients to describe cocoon silk. In their view, the finest thing in the world is the silk that the silkworm spits out. But the wise Chinese are good at making use of every gift of nature, even if it is such a fine silk. Our ancestors reeled seven or eight cocoons into a piece of silk, and used this silk to weave and embroider, so there were silk and brocade in the world, and there were royal robes matching jade food. It is great wisdom not to be careful and not to do anything, but to act according to the situation. All great wisdom will lead to exquisite technology. 4700 years ago, silk was miraculously born in China. Because it is magical and difficult to obtain, silk products opened the first large-scale trade exchange between East and West in world history, and that trade channel was named "Silk Road"
Several silk craftsmen and experts, intentionally or unintentionally, sought or restored the lost silk weaving skills of more than 2000 years. The silk with strength that can be used as parachute, the silk with miraculous intersection of warp and weft, and the brocade with super density of warp all bring unexpected difficulties to reweaving.
Silk has many unique characteristics. It is as thin as 0.02mm; The cross section is two triangles; It is firm with glue and soft after degumming. Craftsmen find and make full use of these characteristics to produce comfortable articles for daily use as well as works of art with higher value.
The land of mulberry and catalpa is called hometown. The spread of mulberry trees was earlier than the spread of silk, and laid the foundation for the spread of silk. When silk was spread to new places, what kind of state did it exist after having one "hometown" after another?
