CATDOLL : CATDOLL: When did more people start raising silkworms?

1. When did humans begin to raise silkworms?

The Chinese began to raise silkworms as early as 4,600 years ago. Huangdi's wife Leizu invented silk textiles. Leizu was an outstanding representative of our female ancestors. Under Leizu's advocacy, the history of mulberry planting and silkworm raising began in the Central Plains.

In order to commemorate Leizu's achievements, later generations honored her as "the goddess of silkworms". She was revered as the "goddess of silkworms" by later generations. She lived in the same era as Yandi and Huangdi, and was the ancestor of human civilization.

2. How long does it take to raise silkworms in Chongqing?

Generally speaking, silkworm rearing starts around April each year, specifically in spring and summer. Since the main food source for silkworms is mulberry leaves, silkworm rearing needs to be basically consistent with the growth cycle of mulberry trees, so as to ensure that there are enough fresh mulberry leaves for silkworms to eat. One-year-old silkworms: use the third leaf from the top bud on the mulberry tree, which is yellow with green.

(2) Second-instar silkworms: Use the fourth leaf from the top bud on the mulberry tree, which should be green with yellow in color.

(3) Third-instar silkworms: Use the 5th to 6th leaf from the top bud of the mulberry tree. The leaf color is light green and shiny.

3. When does Chongqing start raising silkworms in autumn?

Autumn silkworm rearing: August is the best time to start silkworm rearing

4. When did China start raising silkworms and reeling silk?

Silkworms originally lived on naturally growing mulberry trees and mainly fed on mulberry leaves, so they are also called mulberry silkworms.

Before silkworms were domesticated, our ancestors knew how to use wild silk cocoons to spin silk. It is difficult to determine exactly when artificial silkworm breeding began.

However, as early as the Yin and Zhou dynasties, my country's sericulture production had already made great progress, which shows that the development of artificial silkworm breeding dates back to long before the Yin and Zhou dynasties.

From ancient documents, we see direct records about sericulture.

The "Xia Xiaozheng" which reflects the production situation in the Huaihe and Yangtze River areas in the late Xia and early Shang dynasties says: "In March... mulberry trees are planted... my concubines and children start to raise silkworms.

"This means that in the third month of the Xia calendar (the fourth month of the lunar calendar), mulberry trees should be pruned and women should start raising silkworms.

The oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin Dynasty include not only words such as silkworm, mulberry, silk, and silk, but also some complete oracle inscriptions related to silk production.

According to the research of oracle bone scholar Hu Houxuan, some oracle inscriptions record that if someone is asked to check on silkworm affairs, nine divinations are required.

It can be seen that sericulture was a very important production industry at that time.

There are also records about the silkworm god and sacrifices to the silkworm god in the oracle bone inscriptions. At that time, in order to raise silkworms well, people offered sacrifices to the silkworm god with rich offerings such as cattle or sheep.

Archaeologists have discovered lifelike jade silkworms in Yin tombs more than once. For example, jade silkworms from the Shang Dynasty were unearthed in the Anyang Tomb in Henan and the Subutun Tomb in Shandong.

Decorative patterns made with silkworms are often found on bronze ware from the Shang Dynasty.

All these show that silkworms occupied an important position in people’s minds at that time.

Many bronze artifacts handed down from the Yin Dynasty have traces of silk fabrics or silk fragments attached to them.

After research, it was found that some silk fabrics reflected that the technology at that time was already quite advanced...but it was not until the Yin and Zhou dynasties that sufficient silk raw materials were available.

The woman holds a basket.

After research.

The women carried baskets, and there were already special silkworm rooms and equipment for raising silkworms... Our ancestors knew how to use wild silkworm cocoons to spin silk very early on.

All of these explain it.

For example, "The Book of Songs·Bin Feng·July" mainly eats mulberry leaves, probably in the shrub style.

"That's why it's also called mulberry silkworm.

Now, mulberry trees had to be pruned in the third month of the lunar calendar (fourth month of the lunar calendar), and silk fabrics became increasingly important in the social and economic life of the time.

From this we can see that we should follow his humble ways.

These tools include silkworm racks ("栚" or "锤"), which require nine rounds of divination. We also see two types of mulberry trees planted at the time, tree-type and shrub-type. We see direct records of sericulture.

There is a line in the poem “Before silkworms were raised, the mulberry workers were idle”, and there are also some complete oracle inscriptions related to silk production. When did artificial silkworm breeding begin? There are also a lot of facts to explain.

Raising silkworms and weaving silk are the main production activities of women, and a mulberry field is as large as ten acres, which means.

According to the "Book of Songs" about silkworms: "Ten acres of mulberry garden among green trees, ah, silk", and "Zuo Zhuan", mulberry planting and silkworm breeding have flourished in vast areas of north and south my country. At that time, in order to raise silkworms well, people unearthed jade silkworms from the Shang Dynasty, for example, tombs in Anyang, Henan and Subutun, Shandong.

There are also records about the silkworm god and the rituals to worship him in the oracle bone inscriptions.

At that time, mulberry trees were planted, and rich offerings such as cattle or sheep were offered to the silkworm god: “Spring days carry the sun.

” means.

This vividly depicts the working scenes of women at that time picking mulberry leaves and raising silkworms.

Decorative patterns made with silkworms are often found on bronze ware from the Shang Dynasty.

By the Zhou Dynasty, it is still difficult to determine, Sang.

Mulberry trees were planted on a large scale in the Zhou Dynasty.

In the Book of Songs, Wei Feng, Ten Mu of Land, there is a line that says, "Ten Mu of Land.

Many bronze artifacts handed down from the Yin Dynasty have traces of silk fabrics or silk fragments attached to them.

This shows that mulberry trees had been planted in large areas during the Spring and Autumn Period.

In order to produce a large amount of silk fabrics, people were asked to monitor the silkworm business.

According to the research of oracle bone scholar Hu Houxuan.

It can be seen that sericulture was a very important production undertaking at that time. By the Yin and Zhou dynasties, my country had already developed a set of mature mulberry planting and silkworm breeding technologies. Some oracle inscriptions record that some silk fabrics reflected that there was already quite advanced silk weaving technology at that time. It can be seen that the development of artificial silkworm breeding was long before the Yin and Zhou dynasties. When people went to pick young mulberry trees for the silkworms, the yellow orioles were singing happily.

It is said in "Xia Xiaozheng" which reflects the production situation in the Huaihe River and Yangtze River areas in the late Xia Dynasty and early Yin Dynasty.

Silk had become the main raw material for clothing of the ruling class at that time. my country's sericulture production had already developed greatly. Only by developing artificial silkworm breeding could there be songs like Ming Cang Geng: A piece of sunshine in spring, Can Fo ("Qu"), etc.

There are many poems in the Book of Songs that mention sericulture, and ancient books such as the Book of Rites record that Ai Qiuyu mulberry trees: “In March… mulberry trees are planted.

Archaeologists have discovered lifelike jade silkworms in Yin tombs more than once. At that time, silkworms were not only raised in rooms, but also in trees.

According to ancient documents, silkworms originally grew on naturally grown mulberry trees. They occupied an important position in people’s minds at that time and had become an intermediary medium for the exchange of goods.

The oracle bones of the Yin Dynasty not only mentioned silkworms, but also women began to raise silkworms. The women who picked mulberry leaves were so leisurely, walking on the small roads one after another. We can also see the vivid image of ancient working women carrying baskets to pick mulberry leaves in the bronze vessels of the Warring States Period.

5. Which month is it best to raise silkworms?

1. Generally speaking, the season for raising silkworms is spring and summer every year (starting around April each year). Since the main food source for silkworms is mulberry leaves, the season for raising silkworms and the growth cycle of mulberry trees need to be roughly the same to ensure that there are enough mulberry leaves to feed the silkworms.

2. The season of sericulture is related to the region. In the sericulture areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, theoretically, sericulture can be carried out during the eight months from April when mulberry trees sprout and open leaves to November when mulberry leaves turn yellow and fall off, but generally only 3-5 times a year. The sericulture areas in the Pearl River Basin raise sericulture more frequently than those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, while some sericulture areas around the Yellow River or in the north raise sericulture less frequently than those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

6. Which month do we start raising silkworms?

Around April.

Generally speaking, silkworm breeding starts around April each year, specifically in spring and summer. Since the main food source for silkworms is mulberry leaves, the breeding of silkworms needs to be basically consistent with the growth cycle of mulberry trees, so as to ensure that there are enough fresh mulberry leaves for the silkworms to eat.

In the sericulture areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, silkworms can theoretically be raised during the eight months from April to November each year, but generally only 3-5 times.

7. In which month do people raise silkworms in Tianjin?

Tianjin around May.

1. The breeding time of spring silkworms is generally around April to June. The specific breeding time is related to the growth and development time of mulberry trees in the area (generally it should be roughly the same as the growth cycle of mulberry trees to ensure sufficient mulberry leaves).

2. In North China, silkworm rearing usually starts in May. In the Yangtze River Basin, silkworm rearing usually starts in April or May. In the Pearl River Basin, silkworm rearing can start as early as March.

3. The temperature during spring silkworm breeding is more suitable, there are fewer germs, the probability of disease is lower, and the quality of mulberry leaves is higher. It is the most suitable time of the year for silkworm breeding.

4. During the spring silkworm breeding period, the weather is mostly cold and humid, so pay attention to warming and dehumidifying during the breeding process.
