The history of the old coarse cloth of the spinning wheel

According to archaeological excavations, as far back as the Neolithic Age, "spinning nylon" was unearthed in the cultural sites in the Central Plains, which shows that people used primitive textile tools at that time. As early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, a wooden textile tool-waist machine appeared in the Yellow River valley in the north. When in use, it sits on the floor and has a very simple structure. However, the appearance of the inclined beam machine in Han Dynasty marked the gradual maturity of textile technology. The warp beam, heald, crawler and other key components on the warp beam of oblique-axis loom in Han Dynasty were readily available, which greatly accelerated the spinning speed. Today, it seems that the structure of this loom is too simple and primitive, but it was the most advanced loom in the world at that time. Europe did not appear until the 6th century, and13rd century was widely used.

As early as the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, with the large-scale planting of cotton in the Yellow River valley, the industrious people of the Central Plains put traditional techniques such as kudzu, hemp, silk and embroidery into the cotton weaving process, forming cotton brocade. In the Qing Dynasty, the old homespun was presented to the imperial court as a tribute and became a royal thing in the palace. As an important representative of the Yellow River culture, the development of homespun culture is the witness of the Yellow River culture. Today, thousands of peasant women are still twittering, writing simple and colorful homespun movements with magical double programs. In today's consumption trend of advocating green and returning to nature, its pure cotton texture, hand-weaving, national patterns, ancient folk crafts and other characteristics are particularly precious.
