History of Sericulture and Silk
by Liu Kexiang
About This Novel
China is the birthplace of the sericulture and silk industry and the motherland of silk. In ancient times, China was called the "Silk Country" by the West. The Chinese nation has many major inventions, and planting mulberry, raising silkworms, and reeling and weaving silk are among the earliest and greatest inventions. Silk and satin not only enriched people's clothing materials and beautified people's lives, but also served as civilized messengers in China's early exchanges with neighboring countries and Western countries. The unique "Silk Road" was the ancient transportation artery between China and the West across the Eurasian continent. Silk trade had a profound impact on ancient commerce, transportation and cultural exchanges, and even on the economic, political and cultural development of ancient Chinese and Western countries. This book succinctly describes the origin and development process of China's sericulture and silk industry from ancient times to modern times, focusing on the relevant situations of ancient mulberry planting, sericulture, silk reeling, silk weaving, scouring and bleaching, and printing and dyeing production, including production relations, management methods, production area distribution, production technology and technology development and changes, as well as the development and changes of silk trade and sericulture and silk weaving technology, and the external dissemination of silk trade and sericulture and silk weaving technology. From this we can not only feel the wisdom of our ancestors, but also feel glorious and proud of the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation.
