The history of silk quilt
Since 1978, more and more Taiwanese guests have gone to the mainland of China to trade in the motherland in the reform and opening up. In 1985, a merchant in Tongxiang sold silk to Japan for the first time. With the success of this trade, The silk quilt workshop was formed and expanded. By 1990, there were 4 to 5 family workshops, and silk was sold to Japan and Taiwan. Large-scale development of silk quilt enterprises should be after 2000, many local people see the development prospects of silk quilt, have engaged in the silk industry, that is, the launch of Alibaba's online trade that year, China's accession to the WTO has further touched the silk quilt industry. The rapid development.

China is the first country in the world to use silk fabrics. This is the earliest recognized fact of the world. However, how is the mystery of silkworm taking silkworm found in ancient times? As the era is far away, there has been no definitive answer in the past.
With the continuous discovery and excavation of primitive social sites, "archaic photographers" - archaeologists in China have demonstrated the cultural heritage of Neolithic stone in various periods: the Lancang and Longshan cultures in the Yellow River Basin; Hemudu Culture and Majiaxi Culture in the Yangtze River Valley , Liangzhu Culture, etc. The facts reflected from the relics of these relics tell us that with the evolution of the primitive society, the social landscape has undergone tremendous changes. People have transitioned from nomadic pastoralism to farming; the North Suantai has a certain scale; agriculture and Handicrafts also have a clear division of labor. At the same time, silkworm cocoon was discovered during this period. As early as 1926, Chinese archaeologists discovered a "half-cut oyster shell" in the remains of Yangshao culture (Xiyin Village, Xiaxian, Shanxi).
The report of this half silkworm cocoon spread quickly in the academic world in the 1930s. When this news flew over thousands of mountains and rivers, crossed the oceans and reached France, the United States, and Japan... A lot of scholars' attention and research (until 1968, Japan's Busumi Shunro also conducted a special study on this half silkworm cocoon). For the existence of the existence of the sericulture industry in China during the Neolithic Age, Chinese and foreign scholars have discussed this "single evidence"; because of the inferences and analysis of the Yangtse culture heritage in the past, they are said to be different from the Yangshao culture. The estimated opening difference was as long as two or three thousand years. Since the invention of the carbon-14 half-life test, it has had a tremendous impact on our archeological research. According to the Radiocarbon-14 test of the Yangshao Culture in Banpo Village, the earliest specimens were dated from 4960 BC to 4600 BC. The Yangshao culture, represented by the remains of Yangshao Village, lasted for a long time, and its time of occurrence lasted from about 5000 BC to 3000 BC. This means that the entire Yangshao culture is a history dating from 5000 to 7000 years ago. So, this half silkworm cocoon is at least a relic of 5,000 years ago. but. This "half-cutting cricket" has some scholars still disagree with the reliability of its time.
In 1958, in the Qianshanyi area of ​​Wuxing County in Zhejiang Province, this area of ​​the Neolithic Age was discovered by combining the basic construction of farmland on a large scale. In the second excavation of the Qianshan Mountain site, a number of silk fabrics were found, including sepals, ribbons, and silk threads. Most of the relics are kept in a bamboo basket on the lowest level (fourth floor). A large number of rice fields have also been unearthed in the same trenches as these silk fabrics. Archaeologists determined rice specimens by carbon-14. The absolute age was 4715 years before and after about 100 years, and the tree-wheel calibration was about 5260 years ago and about 135 years ago. This is an exciting underground excavation. It shows that on the shore of Taihu Lake in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, 5000 years ago, our ancestors had extensively used silk as a raw material for textiles. Remains of the remains in the Qianshan Relics: The sepals are plain weaves, 40 per cm in density at warp and weft, similar in thickness; silk manufacturers; tape combinations, observed as 10 strands, 3 single strands per strand, total 3 single yarns A total of 30 pieces were woven in October 1979. The authors saw the silk fabrics unearthed by Qian Shanjun in the heritage store of the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, such as a flat crepe, a delicate ribbon, and a monofilament fiber surface. Smooth, with such clear stripes, it must be the first product to be woven after weaving. It is conceivable that 5,000 years ago, "silkworm" was not only entering the era of domestication, but also people have reached a considerable level of skill in the weaving technology. Such skilled production techniques are by no means obtained in the morning. Under the original production conditions, it must have experienced a long period of accumulated experience.
In recent years, the excavation of many primitive social sites in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, especially the discovery of Hemudu culture, has led scholars in the Chinese academia to conclude that the Yellow River Basin and the Yangtze River Basin are the cradle of the ancient culture of the Chinese nation. This cradle apparently also bred our country. The occurrence and development of sericulture; however, this does not mean that the origin of sericulture in China is only south of the Yangtze River and not in the Yellow River Basin; nor does it mean that the domestication of silkworms south of the Yangtze River and its early development have certainly been earlier than the Yellow River Basin. . These have yet to be affirmed, but one thing is certain that the cradle of these two cultures are experiencing the inevitable path they have gone through: from the long-term accumulation of experience in the collection of wild cocoons, to the domestication era. From the point of view of social evolution and development, the domestication of silkworm should be said to be the product of private ownership.
The above paragraph is sufficient to show that China's Taihu Lake Basin is one of the main producing areas of silkworms. How did the silk be produced? In the process of cocooning silkworms, two cocoons form a cocoon. This is the case for 3-5 cockroaches per 100. When the official merchants purchase silk cocoons, it is not necessary to weigh two cocoons. Therefore, it was asked that the silkworm farmer should pick out such a cockroach. This kind of coffin was useless at that time. The working people at that time had put it at home, and some people turned the cockroach cooked into a cocoon and kept it warm. With the continued development of the silkworm industry, the remaining silkworm cocoons have become more and later gradually evolved into bedding, which is generally used only by the silkworms around Taihu Lake.
