What is the superb technology of silk fabrics in the Tang Dynasty

In the Tang Dynasty, there were many kinds of silk fabrics, and the varieties were abundant, reaching an unprecedented degree, including silk, silk, Luo, Qi, brocade and so on.

The silk is plain weaved, without patterns, and is decorated with printing and dyeing.

Silk is a monochrome twill fabric, and the structure of the twill can be changed at any time to produce a pattern, and the weaving method is called "jacquard".

Luo is a complex weaving method that has been popular since the Han Dynasty, and it is a monochrome translucent fabric that is decorated with patterns using dyeing methods.

Brocade is one of the high-grade silk fabrics in the Tang Dynasty, which is a kind of fabric developed in the Han Dynasty through warp and weft. During the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, 400 pieces of Buddha statues were ordered to be woven and embroidered, and they were distributed to various monasteries and neighboring countries, and the production technology was quite mature, laying the foundation for the developed "silk" products in the Song and Song dynasties.

Qi's weaving method is to raise two or three warp twill jacquards? In addition to the natural color, it is dyed red, yellow, purple, green and other colors.

Brocade is a multi-colored multiple weaving, the texture is heavy, the brocade before the Tang Dynasty is called "warp brocade", and the production of Tang brocade, due to technological innovation, has achieved a new creation of weft brocade, on the basis of Ma Jun's improved loom in the Three Kingdoms, it has broken through the simple warp flowering weaving method, and has also developed to the new technology of warp and weft threads to cooperate with each other to flower.

The Silk Road had already been opened in the Tang Dynasty, so during the Tang Dynasty, it was mainly based on the Tang Dynasty period.

The Han Dynasty was a period of vigorous development of China's silk industry, and the technology of silk weaving was also greatly developed. During the Han Dynasty, silk became an important export commodity for China, reaching the rest of the world. So, what was the silk weaving technology of the highest potato level in the Han Dynasty?

Silk production techniques in the Han Dynasty.

The silk production technology of the Han Dynasty mainly included silkworm breeding, mulberry planting, weaving, dyeing, embroidery and other links. Among them, textile technology is an important part. During the Han Dynasty, textile equipment was also greatly improved, such as spinning wheels, looms, shuttles, etc.

With the help of these instruments, the efficiency and quality of silk production have been improved.

Brocade weaving techniques of the Han Dynasty.

In addition to the ordinary silk production technology, the Han Dynasty also had a special brocade technology. Brocade is a high-grade textile with strong Chinese characteristics. The brocade technology of the Han Dynasty is known as the top of silk, especially in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, according to historical records, "purple clothes, white brocade and several things Wang embroidery, ochre clothes, yellow brocade embroidery, there are many gold and silver and silk ropes, more than 200 beads of brocade thickness, embroidery physiognomy is kitsch, Hu Yun contributed."

It can be seen that the brocade technology of the Han Dynasty was very superb and the quality was extremely excellent.

The inheritance and development of textile technology in the Han Dynasty.

The silk industry of the Han Dynasty also developed greatly in the history that followed. With the passage of time and the development of technology, the silk production technology has also been continuously upgraded and improved. The Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty and other periods all had their own unique silk production techniques, but they were all inherited and carried forward on the basis of the technology of the Han Dynasty.

In general, in terms of silk production technology, the level of the Han Dynasty was very high. It became the basis of silk production technology in later generations, and after continuous development and improvement, it has become an important textile industry in the modern world.

The best representative of the silk weaving craft of the Tang Dynasty is double-sided brocade and silk.

The weaving method of double-sided brocade is that the warp and weft threads are interwoven into two layers of plain weave fabric. Silk weaving method is "through the warp and weft", by the color weft to show the pattern, with the pattern as the boundary, with a full width through the pinhole, hanging and looking, like thousands of crystal beads, such as carved like carving, known as "carved silk", silk is not affected by coloring, can be woven at will to create a variety of patterns, appears simple and elegant, can touch, rub, rub, wash, with a thousand years of not bad texture.
