After the Love Show Fashion Week ended, it was already April day on earth.

At this Fashion Week, Wang Lin received a total of 5.6 billion yuan.

After the Fashion Week, Wang Lin organized a tourist event, mainly aimed at foreign businessmen participating in this Fashion Week.

The theme of travel is called "Oriental Silk Tour."

This trip will be led by Wang Lin personally for two days and two nights.

The destination of tourism is mainly in Gusu City.

Gusu has been a prosperous place since ancient times and is also a famous silk capital in our country.

Leno and others signed up to participate.

Even Viktorfsch signed up.

After hearing this, Nataja felt that this was a very meaningful activity, so she asked the school for two days off and must follow her.

Of course, the Victors were willing to take their daughter out for a trip, so they agreed to their daughter's request for leave.

The number of people participating in the Silk Road tourism this time reached more than 60.

Foreigners are very interested in our silk culture.

The tourism road begins from Shencheng and first arrive at the straw sandals in Gusu.

The ruins of the Grassy Mountain were discovered in 1973.

In the Caosaic Mountain area of ​​Weiting Town, Gusu, physical fragments of textiles from 6,000 years ago were unearthed; a large number of spinning wheels and bone needles from 4,000 years ago, as well as silk twisted patterns and silkworm patterns were unearthed; Meiyan, Wujiang, and Meiyan, Wujiang, were unearthed.

Tao, this shows that ancient ancestors in Gusu mastered the technology of silkworm raising and spinning very early.

Wang Lin and his group started traveling from the ruins of Caosao Mountain to learn about Suzhou's cultural history, mainly the history of silk production.

In ancient times, Gusu belonged to Yangzhou among the nine provinces. During the Xiayu period, there were colorful brocades such as silk fabrics, earth tribute and shellfish.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu and Chu fought for mulberry fields on the border, and a large-scale battle for mulberry fields occurred, which showed the important economic position of sericulture's benefits at that time.

The silk in Gusu has developed into an important material for the country to look after the army. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, an envoy from the Eastern Ocean asked Wu Zhi to weave and the female craftsman returned. The "Oriental Book Records" also has corresponding historical records.

The Silk Museum located in Gusu is the first professional silk museum in my country. In October 1989, the Silk Museum held an opening ceremony at the former site of the famous Ming Dynasty painter Tang Yin Temple, and exhibited the basic display. The new museum was completed on September 20, 1991. The Gusu Silk Museum is a fresh and elegant museum that combines movement and stillness: it is also a multi-functional museum integrating collection, display, scientific research, education, reproduction, production, shopping, catering and tourism.

In addition, Gusu also built a Silk Engineering College. The predecessor of the Silk Engineering College was the Shanghai Private Women's Silk Industry School founded by Mr. Shi Liangcai in 1903. After several adjustments, it was named Gusu Silk Engineering College in 1960.

Throughout the journey, you can learn the entire development history of silk.

Wang Lin brought everyone to the silk factory to inspect the silk making process on the spot.

The working people of the Han nationality invented the technology of raising silkworms and weaving silk embroidery. This invention should be attributed to Han women.

Legend has it that Huangdi's wife, and the daughter of Xiling clan, taught the people to educate silkworms to cure silk cocoons for clothes. Spinning wheels were unearthed from the Yangshao cultural site about 7,000 to 5,000 years ago for spinning wheels for spinning and hemp.

Spinning wheels were invented in the Han Dynasty. They were initially used as reeling wires, and later used to spin cotton. They were introduced to Europe in the 13th century.

Everyone knows that silk is made of silk cocoons. But in that era, how could people find that the small spherical silk cocoon could be drawn into thin silk and made into silk? Today we will come.

Let’s talk about the mystery of peeling off the silk and cocoon.

There is a lot of knowledge here.

Wang Lin had told Leno before that the whole process of raising silkworms to making silk is just superficial, but today he can witness it with his own eyes, which opened his eyes to Leno and others.

That morning, Wang Lin and others came to a silk workshop, which was a workshop that has been passed down for hundreds of years, from raising silkworms to drawing silk to weaving silk.

Several minibuses drove to the town.

Wang Lin and everyone sat on the minibus together, chatting and laughing with everyone.

After getting off the bus, everyone went to the silk workshop.

The workshop is called Renjianzhi.

Don’t underestimate this is a workshop-style factory, but it has a great origin and a great reputation.

100 years ago, a patriotic industrialist founded a silk weaving factory here after his own name, and since then he unfolded a colorful silk weaving scroll known as "sampling from heaven and weaving in the world".

Over the past hundred years, human weaving has been continuously inherited and developed, gradually developing from single scene brocade to colorful brocade, and various practical decorative brocades and sed brocades.

At present, the human weaving has formed three series of more than 1,640 varieties of patterns and colors.

The inheritor of the human weaving, that is, the workshop owner of this generation, a sixty-year-old man named Jiang Wangsheng, was responsible for receiving Wang Lin and his party.

The itinerary was decided by Wang Lin, but the people below were doing the visits in contact with various attractions and visits.

Before Wang Lin came, he didn't know what the workshop weaving in the human world looked like.

Jiang Wangsheng recognized Wang Lin at a glance and came forward to shake hands: "Hello, Mr. Wang! I'm very happy to know you. To you, I'm a long-awaited name!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Boss Jiang, lucky to know."

Jiang Wangsheng said: "I learned that Mr. Wang, you are coming. We have cleaned the courtyard these days and prepared some fabrics that we can take. Please appreciate by Mr. Wang and all the foreign guests."

Wang Lin said: "Boss Li is so polite, thank you. If this is the case, let's visit your workshop first to understand the process of silk production. These foreign friends are also quite interested in this."

"Okay, please come here." Jiang Wangsheng was 60 years old, his hair was gray and thin and vigorous. He always spoke with a smile. He was a very easy-going person.

Wang Lin and others entered the workshop in a row.

The workshop is large, equivalent to a Gusu garden.

Jiang Wangsheng explained as he walked: "This is the ancestral house left by my ancestors, and the industry is also left by our ancestors."

Wang Lin asked: "Boss Li, is the name of the Heroes from the word ", "Is it the Heroes from Heaven?"

"Yes, that's where the name comes from." Jiang Wangsheng said, "The name of the World is still named by my grandfather. In the blink of an eye, I am also a grandfather."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "This garden is well built, so I'm afraid that such a garden building can't be built now, right?"

Jiang Wangsheng nodded and said, "This seems to be true. Our garden, like our workshop, is a cultural heritage!"

Wang Lin asked: "Everyone knows that if you want to get silk, you must peel the cocoon. So what is the process of peeling the cocoon?"

Jiang Wangsheng said: "The method of removing silk and peeling cocoons is called silk reeling. Wire reeling is a main process in the silk making process. It does not seem complicated, but it is very troublesome."

The yard is covered with various silkworm products, including silkworms, leaf picking baskets, medicinal films, red bricks, special barrels for disinfection of silkworm chambers, new sprayers, square bumps and limes, etc.

There are many silkworms in the overlapping silkworms. The green mulberry leaves and white fat silkworms are very cute.

Jiang Wangsheng picked up a silkworm cocoon, bit it out of the cocoon with his mouth, and peeled out a silkworm pupa from it.

"Silkworm pupae were also one of the foods of our ancestors. In order to peel the silkworm pupae, we had to bite the cocoon shell. Because of repeated attempts, our ancestors gradually discovered that after the cocoon shell was soaked in saliva, the sericin was dissolved.

Phenomenon. The originally densely wrapped silk also separated, so the secret of stripping the cocoon was discovered." Jiang Wangsheng said to Wang Lin.

After Wang Lin finished listening, he translated it in English for foreign businessmen.

Foreign businessmen were amazed after hearing this.

Jiang Wangsheng continued: "Later, people improved this method and cooked cocoons with appropriate water temperatures, thus obtaining silk."

"The process of making silk is quite complicated, and there are many tricks, but the most important thing is the level of releasing silk. After the ancestors passed this most difficult level, they pulled out a silk cocoon of one thousand meters and used it.

Seven or eight silks are combined into one raw silk.”

"The next step is textile. People divide these raw silk into two parts: warp and weft thread, and make fabrics according to certain rules. This process is called textile."

Most foreign businesses are familiar with textiles, so I won’t go into details about what’s going on.

Jiang Wangsheng prepared a small exhibition.

The exhibited are brocades, fabrics, and silk clothing produced by their workshops.

What surprised Wang Lin and the others was that the fabrics produced in the workshop were varied in style and had many styles, and they also embroidered various famous paintings.

"Mona Lisa!" Nataga pointed to a work and said, "This is simply perfect, how did this be done?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "This is called Su embroidery, which is embroidered on silk with a needle and a thread."

Other foreign businessmen were also amazed.

Nataja smiled and said, "Dad, I want to buy this work."

Victor nodded and asked Jiang Wangsheng, "How much does this cost?"

Jiang Wangsheng was stunned and pondered without saying a word.

Wang Lin said: "What's wrong? Boss Jiang, don't you sell these works?"

Jiang Wangsheng said in embarrassment: "Mr. Wang, it's true that this work was embroidered by my granddaughter. She spent a lot of time and energy to embroider well."

Wang Lin said oh, "She doesn't want to sell it?"

Jiang Wangsheng said: "Yes, she wanted to keep it for the dowry. I persuaded her to show it out for this exhibition. If foreign businessmen are interested in other works, as long as the price is reasonable, then I can make the decision to sell them.

.”

Wang Lin explained to Victor and Nataja.

After listening to it, Nataga was helpless: "I really like this Mona Lisa. This embroidery is more beautiful than the original work of our Louvre in Paris, and its charm is even more touching."

Wang Lin looked at the work carefully and felt that it was really vivid. He thought to himself that a girl was so smart and skillful that she could weave such beautiful embroidery.

At this time, a young woman came over. She was beautiful, with graceful and elegant manners, passionate and beautiful, but she was not just a vase. Although she was gentle on the outside, she was not weak. Her eyes were firm and flexible.
