Did the Shang Dynasty invent the twisted loom????

The Shang Dynasty was able to finely weave extremely thin silk, jacquard geometric brocade, qi, and yarn of twisted looms.

Since archaeological excavations have excavated the yarn of the twisted loom, the twisted loom should also exist at the same time.

It's just that it's wooden, so it's hard to find by archaeology.

Jenny. James Hargreworth (an English inventor) was an ordinary worker. He could weave cloth and carpenter at the same time.

His wife, Jenny, is a kind and diligent textile expert, she gets up early and is greedy for night, and she is busy all day and night, and there is always not much yarn to spin. Every time Hargreworth saw his wife nervous and tired, he wanted to improve the old spinning wheel.

One day, he accidentally knocked over the spinning wheel at home, and he saw that the horizontal release hammer had become vertically erected, and it was still spinning. This fortuitous event enlightened him: since the spindle can still rotate when it is erected, if several vertical spindles are used side by side, it is not possible to spin several yarns at the same time?

He said he would do it, and finally tried out a new loom with eight spindles, which he named "Jenny Loom". This invention is dozens of times more efficient than the old loom and was used by Engels.

As "the first invention to radically change the condition of the British worker".

The loom was invented by Huang Daopo, a famous cotton weaver in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. Huang Daopo was admired by the people for her promotion of textile technology and textile tools, and was revered as the ancestor of the cloth industry in the Qing Dynasty. In terms of weaving, she used wrong yarn, color matching, heald thread, and flower technology to weave the famous Wunijing quilt, which promoted the development of cotton textile technology and cotton textile industry in Songjiang.

Loom, the common name for a loom. The earliest loom was a loom (called a waist machine) that sat on the ground. The method of use is to step on the warp stick of the loom, hold the weft beating wooden knife in the right hand to tighten the weft, and the left hand is in the posture of throwing the weft lead.

This kind of pedal waist machine does not have a frame, one end of the roll shaft is tied to the waist, both feet pedal the warp beam at the other end and tension the fabric, the warp yarn is divided into two layers according to the odd and even number with the warp stick, the warp yarn is lifted with the heald rod to form a shed, the weft is drawn with a bone needle, and the weft is beaten with a weft knife. The most important achievement of waist weaving is the use of heald rods, warp bars and weft beating knives.

Although this loom seems to be very simple, it has already had three directions of movement, such as opening the weaving mouth up and down, inserting the weft left and right, and tightening back and forth, and is the ancestor of the modern loom.

Huang Daopo (1245-1330), also known as Huang Po and Huang Mu, was a native of Wunijing, Songjiang Prefecture (now part of Shanghai), a famous cotton weaver and technological reformer in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty.

When she was a child, she was a child daughter-in-law, and she was exiled to Yazhou (Yacheng Town, Sanya City, Hainan Province) because of unbearable abuse, and lived for about 40 years. During the reign of Yuan Yuanzhen (1295-1297), he returned to his hometown and taught the villagers to improve textile tools, manufacture special machinery such as rolling, elasticity, spinning, and weaving, and weave cotton fabrics with various patterns.

Huang Daopo played an important role in promoting the rapid development of cotton textile industry and cotton planting industry in the Yangtze River Basin, and was praised by later generations as a "female textile technician" who "dressed the world". After his death, the villagers of Qiong and Shanghai all set up ancestral halls to worship.

The loom was invented by Huang Daopo, a famous cotton weaver in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty.

Huang Daopo was admired by the people for promoting textile technology and textile tools, and was respected as the ancestor of the cloth industry when the cherry blossoms were cracked in the Qing Dynasty. During the reign of Yuan Zhen, she reformed the textile technology she had learned from living in Yazhou (now Hainan Island) for more than 30 years, and made a complete set of cutting, elastic, spinning, and weaving tools (such as churning, vertebral arches, and three-spindle pedal spinning wheels), which greatly improved the spinning efficiency at that time.

In terms of weaving, she used the wrong yarn, color matching, heald thread, and flower technology to weave the famous Wunijing quilt, which promoted the development of cotton textile technology and cotton textile spine closure industry in Songjiang, so that Songjiang once became the center of the national cotton textile industry at that time, and played a great role in promoting the development of cotton planting and textile technology at that time.

The world-famous Huang Daopo also lived in Shuinan Village to learn art. As early as the time of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty, Huang Daopo, who was only 13 years old, drifted to Shuinan Village in Yazhou with a merchant ship to escape being a child daughter-in-law. At that time, the cotton textile technology of the Li people was ahead of the Han nationality in the Central Plains, and Huang Daopo devoted herself to learning from the Li people to spin yarn with kapok batting, using rice wine, coconut water, bark and wild plants as pigments to tone and dye the thread, and using the textile printing and dyeing technology of machine heald, flower and weaving, and invented the pedal "three blooms and three lines" spinning wheel and the "waist weaving machine" loom 400 years earlier than Europe, which improved the quality of brocade and became a "great female weaver in ancient China".

The pattern of Li brocade and tube skirt woven by "treadmill vertebral arch" is gorgeous and elegant, and there are more than 200 kinds of chicken patterns, horsetail patterns, frog patterns, etc., which are known as "machine sink, hundreds of flowers and thousands of flowers".

The earliest loom in China was invented in the Shang Dynasty in the hand-patterned loom, and in the Zhou Dynasty, jacquard machinery was developed, at least at the end of the Warring States Period, the pedal loom had begun to be used. The use of the foot pedal as a lifting device (a device on the loom that separates the warp threads up and down so that the shuttle can pass through) can free up your hands to throw the shuttle, and the hands and feet can be used at the same time, so that the effect is greatly improved. This loom is an epoch-making invention in the history of textile technology.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, there were further improvements to the loom, and someone also invented a new type of jacquard machine. It uses 120 warp threads to weave a flower silk in 60 days. But the biggest feature of this kind of silk weaving machine is that each warp thread has to use a foot pedal (i.e., pedal), so that 120 warp threads need to have 120 feet, which is laborious and time-consuming to operate, and is very inconvenient.

Later, someone improved it and simplified it to "fifty comprehensive people fifty feet" or "sixty comprehensive people sixty feet". ”

More than 5,000 years ago, it is easy to find it on the Internet by yourself, so you don't need to ask here.
