Textile machinery was widely used in that dynasty.

Loom is the full name of the tool that processes thread, silk, hemp and other raw materials into silk thread and then weaves it into cloth. Such as spinning pendants, spinning wheels, spindles, pedal looms, mechanical looms, CNC automatic looms, etc. The development of textile processing technology and equipment in ancient and modern times is designed according to textile raw materials, so raw materials occupy an important position in textile processing. In ancient times, the fibers used for textile in the world were all natural fibers, generally three kinds of short fibers (wool, hemp and cotton).

Spinning wheel pendant is the earliest tool used for spinning in the history of China, and its appearance can be traced back to at least the Neolithic Age. According to archaeological data, all of China

Almost all the early residents in more than 30 provinces and cities unearthed spinning wheels, which are the main parts of spinning wheel pendants. Spinning wheels unearthed in the early days were generally made of stones or pottery pieces by simple polishing, with different shapes, mostly drum-shaped, round, oblate and quadrangular, and some wheels were painted with decorative patterns.

The appearance of spinning pendants not only changed the textile production in primitive society, but also had a far-reaching impact on the development of spinning tools in later generations. As a simple spinning tool, it has been used for thousands of years. Even in the twentieth century, some nomadic Tibetans in Tibet still used it for spinning.

According to the structure, the common spinning wheels in ancient times can be divided into two types: manual spinning wheels and pedal spinning wheels. The image data of hand-cranked spinning wheels have been found many times in cultural relics unearthed in Han Dynasty, which shows that hand-cranked spinning wheels have been very popular as early as Han Dynasty. Pedal spinning wheel is developed on the basis of manual spinning wheel. At present, the earliest image data is the Eastern Han Dynasty stone relief unearthed in Sihong County, Jiangsu Province. The power to drive the spinning wheel by hand comes from hand. When operating, you need one hand spinning wheel and one hand spinning. The power of pedal spinning wheel driving spinning wheel comes from feet. During operation, the spinning woman can spin with both hands, which greatly improves the work efficiency. The spinning wheel has been the most popular spinning machine since its appearance. Even in modern times, some remote areas still regard it as the main spinning tool.
