1. What is silkworm breeding and silk reeling?

Sericulture and silk reeling Reeling is the process of extracting silk from silk cocoons. The process of extracting silk from silk cocoons is generally called silk reeling. The original method of reeling silk is to soak the cocoons in hot water, draw silk by hand, and wind it on a silk basket. Basins and baskets are the original reeling utensils. The Han working people invented the technology of sericulture, silk reeling, silk weaving and embroidery. The invention in this area should be attributed to the women of the Han nationality. Legend has it that Leizu, the wife of Huangdi and the daughter of Xiling clan, taught people to raise silkworms and process silk cocoons to make clothes.

For a long time, the improvement of silk reeling tools was slow. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the silk reeling in Shanghai area used the improved Zhejiang Qili silk reeling machine, which still had no twisting device. Therefore, the finished silk was uneven in thickness and had many broken ends (no joints), which was not in line with the requirements of modern large-scale machine weaving production. Silk reeling is a major process in the silk making process. According to the product specifications, the cocoon silk of several cooked cocoons is separated and combined to make raw silk or tussah silk. There are many silk reeling methods. According to the different sinking and floating of silk cocoons during reeling, it can be divided into floating reeling, semi-sinking reeling, and sinking reeling. The sinking and floating of silk cocoons is mainly determined by the amount of water absorbed in the cocoon cavity after boiling the cocoons. According to the different types of reeling machines, it can be divided into vertical reeling and automatic reeling. According to the different sensing types of automatic reeling machines, it can be divided into fixed grain sensing reeling and fixed fiber sensing reeling. Fixed grain sensing reeling is to keep a certain number of cocoon grains for each raw silk during the reeling process, and add and connect the grains when grains are missing; fixed fiber sensing reeling uses a fineness sensor, and when the raw silk reaches a certain limit (called fine limit fineness), add and connect the grains. The grain refers to the cocoon head of each cocoon. According to the different winding forms of raw silk, it can be divided into small reel reeling and bobbin reeling. Small reel reeling is to wind the raw silk on a small reel, then return it to a large reel with a circumference of 1.5 meters, and then make it into a twisted form. Bobbin reeling is to wind it into a bobbin form.

The Han working people invented the techniques of raising silkworms, reeling silk, weaving silk and embroidery. The inventions in this area should be attributed to the women of the Han nationality. Legend has it that Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor and the daughter of Xiling clan, taught people to raise silkworms and process silk cocoons to make clothes. Spinning wheels used for spinning silk and hemp have been unearthed in the Yangshao culture sites dating back about 7,000 to 5,000 years. The spinning wheel was invented in the Han Dynasty. It was originally used for reeling silk and winding thread, and later for spinning cotton. It was introduced to Europe in the 13th century.

5. What does it mean to raise silkworms and reel silk?

Answer: Sericulture and silk reeling are the two most basic and important links in the sericulture industry. Without these two, silk textile processing is a castle in the air. One is to produce raw materials for silk weaving, and the other is to perform primary processing of silk. Sericulture is to raise a considerable number of silkworms and use the silkworms' instinct to spin silk and make cocoons, so as to harvest a large number of cocoons; silk reeling is to extract the silk from the cocoons with tools so as to weave silk cloth in the next step.
