Nanchong silk has a long history and is the earliest biographical record of Nanchong silk. The earliest extant historical book of Nanchong Silk Biography in China is Han Shu written by Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The largest silk work in Nanchong is The Collection of Ancient and Modern Books edited by Chen Menglei and Jiang Tingxi in Qing Dynasty. The earliest extant local chronicles of Nanchong silk is Huayang National Records, a historian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The earliest silk book in Nanchong is Tong Dian of Tang Dynasty. When we open the history books, we can see all kinds of poems, folk songs, proverbs, dialect slang and other rich cultural contents about silk left by Nanchong literati. For example, we have heard of "iron faucet", "stainless steel faucet" and "copper chrome faucet". Have you ever heard that wood can also be used as a faucet? In fact, "wooden faucet" is just a proverb in the silk industry, which refers to the jacquard device of wood machine and "iron faucet" refers to the jacquard device of iron machine. There are also good sayings such as "shoot silk Gun" and "shoot silk Gun", which are just the common names of silk and silk brokers; Some brokers are used to pushing on both sides, not showing real figures, but shouting with confidence to make both buyers and sellers satisfied with the price. This kind of broker is also called "red gun".
If you want to find traces of silk culture in Nanchong, it is better to drive from Nanchong to Xichong in less than 10 minutes. In Suixi Town, Shunqing District, next to the national highways 265 and 438+02, you can see such a name: China Sericulture Museum, which displays the statues of the legendary silk ancestor, inventors Leizu and Matou Niang, as well as some silk cultural relics excavated in Nanchong. Moreover, the city cocoon and silk company is also preparing to build Nanchong silk boutique exhibition hall, which will gather Nanchong silk products and integrate Nanchong silk history and culture with Nanchong silk science and technology knowledge. At the time of writing this article, I am glad to hear that Nanchong Silk, which was originally intended to win the grand prize in the first Chengdu Silk Expo, unexpectedly encountered a "cold current". While I am happy, I hope these words can arouse everyone's feelings about Nanchong Silk.
