Silk is also known as "carved silk", which is the essence of traditional Chinese silk art. It is the most traditional kind of warp and weft in the Chinese silk weaving industry, and it is very appreciated for decorative silk fabrics. Since the Song and Yuan dynasties, it has been one of the royal fabrics, and is commonly used to weave imperial and queen clothing, Yuzhen (imperial statues) and imitation of celebrity calligraphy and painting.

Because the weaving process is extremely meticulous, the imitation is often better than the original, and the surviving fine products are extremely rare, which is the highlight of today's weaving and embroidery collection and auction. It often has the reputation of "an inch of silk and an inch of gold" and "the saint of weaving".

Suzhou silk painting is also known as China's "four great weavings" together with Hangzhou silk weaving painting, Yongchun paper weaving painting, and Sichuan bamboo curtain painting.

In May 2006, Suzhou silk weaving technology was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list; In September 2009, silk was selected as the world's intangible cultural heritage as a Chinese sericulture silk weaving technique. Representative inheritors include Wang Jinshan, Wang Jialiang, Wang Jianjiang, and Wu Wenkang.

Silk is also known as carved silk, which is the essence of Chinese silk art. This is a kind of silk weaving handicraft that shows the pattern of warp and weft, forms the boundary of the pattern, has the effect of carving and carving, and is rich in double-sided three-dimensional feeling. The method of weaving silk is different from embroidery and brocade.

It adopts"Through warp and weft breaking"The weaving method of the general brocade is the "warp and weft" method, that is, the weft thread penetrates the entire width of the fabric.

Silk has its own special loom, the silk machine, which is a simple plain weave machine. When weaving, the warp thread is installed on the loom first, and the warp line is lined with a draft or manuscript, and the weaver uses a brush to depict the color pattern of the pattern on the warp surface through the warp, and then weaves it in pieces with a boat-shaped small shuttle pattern about ten centimeters long and equipped with various silk threads.

Silk can freely change the color of lead, so it is particularly suitable for making calligraphy and painting works. The weaver of the weaving weft must have a certain artistic attainment. The structure of the silk fabric follows the principles of "fine warp and coarse weft", "white warp and color weft", and "straight warp and curved weft".

That is: the natural color warp is fine, the color weft is coarse, the weft is warp, and only the color weft is shown without revealing the warp. Since the color weft is fully covered on the upper part of the fabric, the effect of the picture pattern will not be affected by the shrinkage of the weft thread after weaving.

Silk is not really carved with a knife, this is a kind of raw silk as the warp, color cooked silk as the weft, using the warp back to the method of weaving into the plain weave fabric: the weft according to the pre-depicted pattern, the various colors of the weft only in the pattern needs to interweave with the warp and the whole width, with a number of small shuttles according to the pattern color respectively digging and weaving, so that the fabric on the pattern and plain ground, color and color between some breaks, similar to the image of knife carving, this is the so-called"Through warp and weft breaking"The weave. The ancients described the silk as "a carved image of the void".

In the old time, the "warp and weft" mentioned in the Sihuai repentance record refers to this meaning. The pattern of the finished product is the same on both sides.

Silk skills in the Song Dynasty after the continuous development, to the Qing Dynasty silk industry center has moved to Suzhou area, the use of color weft silk up to 6000 kinds of colors, the use of silk method to copy the celebrity calligraphy and painting, exquisite craftsmanship, vivid image. Silk products are still produced and collected as high-grade handicrafts.

Silk works generally have three characteristics:

First of all, most of the silk works are collective works, and later generations can only judge the value of such works by looking at the craftsmanship and artistic value of the works themselves;

The second is that the creation of silk is often very laborious and time-consuming, sometimes it takes several months or even more than a year to complete a work, so the completion of a silk work often pours a lot of effort into the author;

Again, the silk works are highly ornamental. Many silk works have both flat and painted color blocks, as well as compositional and styling structures. The works of the silk family are generally very three-dimensional, and the subject matter of the silk works is popular with people, so its artistic and ornamental value can completely compete with the famous calligraphy and painting, and even surpass.

Judging from the record high performance of the silk works in the auction hall, it is expected that the silk works will achieve new success in the future.

The state attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage, and on May 20, 2006, the weaving technique was approved to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. On June 5, 2007, the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China confirmed that Wang Jinshan of Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province was the representative inheritor of the cultural heritage project, and was included in the list of 226 representative inheritors of the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage projects.

Silk also has other names overseas, such as "embellished brocade", "embellished weaving", and "woven into brocade". "Jade Chapter" said: "Yi, weaving weft also."

Because the weaving work is slightly high and low at the junction of the pattern and the plain ground, showing a trace of cracks, as if carved into it, it is called "carved silk". The front and back of the finished product are the same, and the Suzhou embroidery double-sided embroidery has the same magic. Together with embroidery, jade carving and ivory carving, cloisonné is known as China's four major special handicrafts, and together with Yunjin, it is known as China's two major treasures of handmade silk fabrics.

In ancient times, it had the reputation of "the saint in weaving" and "an inch of silk and an inch of gold". Because it can stand the test of history, it is also called "a thousand-year-old art fabric".

Silk silk, also known as carved silk, is a kind of silk fabric in ancient China. It is characterized by the fact that the weft does not span the entire width, but only interweaves with the warp where it is needed, which is called the "through warp and weft" method. The front and back of the finished product are identical, and the contours of different colors are not connected, and the pores can be seen when viewed in the backlight of the air, as if carved with a knife.

Originally, the weaving technique of "through warp and weft" was used for woolen fabrics, called silk wool, and this technique was used for silk fabrics in the Tang Dynasty. During the Southern Song Dynasty, silk can imitate calligraphy paintings, with delicate and soft style, and has appreciative artistic value. The silk center of the Ming and Qing dynasties was in Suzhou, which reached its peak in the Qianlong era, and the fabrics produced were mostly used by the imperial court.

Nowadays, the production of silk is mainly concentrated in Suzhou, Nantong, Jiangsu, and the silk also presents two schools of embarrassment: Suzhou silk and Nantong silk. In 2009, "Silk Weaving Skills" was included in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List as part of "Chinese Sericulture Silk Weaving Skills".

1. The craftsmanship of embroidery and silk is different. Embroidery is embroidery, provided that there is embroidery material, and then through a certain processing to form a silk fabric. Silk in the weaving process is a boat-shaped shuttle, the smallest shuttle is nearly 10 centimeters, and the production of the work of the warp density of about 25 silk threads per centimeter, in the more complex pattern, often need to pass the shuttle from a warp line, is weaving.

2. The texture of the finished product is not the same for embroidery and silk. Due to the different processes, the weaving process of the silk fabric determines that its finished product is more textured, and the traces of embroidery lines are more obvious.
