What kind of silk is called the best in silk?

Lake silk is known as the best silk in the collection.

Li Ji Husi was produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, while Nanxun was a famous silk town in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Huzhou has been an important silk producing area since the Tang Dynasty. Geely Lake Silk, also known as "Li Ji Silk", is the best silk, named after it was produced in Li Ji Village, Nanxun Town.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty and Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Lisi was famous for his leisure. Silk collection has always been the imperial items of the emperor, and the emperor's yellow robe clearly stipulates that it must be silk, which represents the emperor's lofty authority. The robes of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong in Qing Dynasty were all made of "Gillis".

Nearly 100 silk merchants in Nanxun in modern times became rich by collecting Hu Si silk. In Li Ji Husi Museum, Li Ji Husi produced by Nanxun in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China is still preserved, and its texture is still as bright as ever, which is regarded as the treasure of the town museum.

Inheritance status

Although Li Ji Lake Silk occupies a prominent position in history, with the development of the machine silk reeling industry, the manual silk reeling industry in Li Ji Village gradually declined. The efficiency of machine silk reeling is not only much higher than that of manual silk reeling, but also compared with machine silk, enterprises prefer to use machine silk reeling because of uneven stripes and impure silk quality, and more waste silk and great loss when it is used in weaving.

Therefore, some experts say that the decline of Hu Si in drama series is the inevitable development of history. Since 1930s, due to the influence of mechanized silk reeling technology, this traditional process has gradually declined. With the frequent appearance of Gigi Lai Husi at the Shanghai World Expo and major non-legacy exhibitions, this ancient technique has once again attracted public attention.
