Jiang Nv is indescribable

Chapter 222 Splendid World
To be honest, sericulture and silk weaving originated in the north.

Helplessly, wars broke out in the Northland, and various forces appeared on the stage. For decades, weavers have been leaving one after another, and the production of silk weaving has been declining.

With the invasion of the Hulu, the brocade production in the north was almost destroyed. After the Xuanhe crossed to the south, the remaining craftsmen brought their weaving skills with the new court and almost all moved to the south of the Zhangjiang River.

Originally, the output of expensive silk weaving and variegated dyed silk such as brocade and satin in the north accounted for more than half of Dayan's total production.After more than ten years of recuperation, the silk production in the south has doubled that in the north.

In the beginning, it was only in terms of quantity, because at the beginning, most of the products produced in Southland were low-end fabrics such as Luo, silk, yarn, and 縠, and later they began to get involved in expensive silk weaving.

In recent years, Nanjin has gradually gained fame, not only occupying an advantage in the types of silk weaving, but also tending to be crushed in terms of skills.

The silk weaving industry in the north has been in a state of depression and stagnation for a long time, and it is useless for the weavers to rush.

In the past, there was no stable environment, and the battles came and went, and it was impossible to save one's life. Who would spend his mind on things outside of him?Now it is finally stable, but once the gap is widened, it is not so easy to catch up.

Helpless, if northerners want to wear the most fashionable clothes, they can only rely on big merchants to go south to buy them.Not to mention the mobilization of teachers, the price is extremely high.

The situation was still the same in the first half of the year. Who would have thought that in the second half of the year, the situation would be reversed—in the north, in Binzhou, where sericulture has never been prosperous, so many rare silk fabrics suddenly appeared!

I haven't heard of any famous Nishikidos and weavers in the North...

So naturally, the merchants were divided into two groups, one group speculated about weavers, and the other group studied weaving methods.

If Chen Yunniang was present, she might be able to answer one or two questions.

The batch of brocades shown later is indeed not the traditional weaving method.In the past decades, she has been weaving with warp fringe. Since she got the flower building machine, from the heddle jacquard to the flower floor jacquard, the warp fringe has also changed to the weft fringe.

The change of using a color shuttle to replace the wire drawing is not only flexible and convenient, but also can weave large or even single patterns, and can increase the color of the fabric by changing colors in different areas.At the same time, it breaks through the limitations of Jingjin in pattern and color matching, as well as the situation that Jingjin has a small flower shape.

No, it is far from enough to have a building machine.

Plus the weaving score that Jiang Fosang gave her.

On the day of weaving for her, Jiang Fusang personally wove it for her to see.To Chen Yunniang's surprise, her dexterity was not inferior to that of a skilled weaver.

Before that, Chen Yunniang had always thought that she was a noble girl who didn't touch the sun, but she had read more books than others, so she knew more.

Facing her puzzlement, Jiang Fosang didn't explain much, just jokingly asked her to keep it a secret, and said that if she told Liang Nai that she did these things, her ears would not be quiet.

Chen Yunniang is not a person who seeks to find out the truth, let alone she was completely shocked by the weaving score, and some doubts have long been forgotten.

This is more than just a weaving book, it is simply a treasure book for the weaving family!

There are so many varieties that I have never heard of; many techniques and weaving methods have never been seen.

Of these exhibited at the brocade weaving meeting, just one or two of them are enough for a weaving work to be enshrined as a treasure and passed on to future generations.If there is no such weaving score, only Hualou Ji, let alone half a year, even if she is given ten or eight years, she may not be able to study several kinds.

Although weaving scores is good, it also has disadvantages, such as inconsistent styles, large spans, and even strong contrasts. It does not seem to be popular in one place at a time.

Chen Yunniang couldn't figure it out, so she didn't follow it completely, and simply adapted to local conditions, trying to incorporate some of her own ideas.

Liang Shuo said that she forgot to sleep and eat.After getting this precious book, how could she not forget to eat and sleep?I wish I could spend day and night in the weaving room.

I only regret that there is not enough time, otherwise this tapestry meeting could have been more successful and sensational.

But don't worry, Jiang Fosang has already agreed with the city magistrate that the brocade weaving meeting will be held every year in the future, and they still have a lot of time to flex their muscles.

"Fortunately, the Northland is safe and sound." Chen Zhenniang sighed again.

Jiang Fosang knew that the stability of the Northland, and even the stability of the entire Central Plains, was only temporary.

In the future, there will be a resurgence of wars, and now I don't know whether these achievements can be kept... But these are beyond her control, and she probably won't be in the Northland at that time, so let's just take a step and see.

In the exhibition hall, the merchants had a discussion, but still had no clue.

There is only one sentence in my heart and eyes - it's incredible!
Then they discovered that something even more unbelievable was yet to come.

Those brocades shown before were just appetizers, and the real highlight began to come out after a long wait.

Two large flails were carried up in the spacious exhibition hall, covered with white silk cloth.

As the silk cloth on the first flail was slowly lifted, everyone almost forgot to breathe for a moment.

On the top is a brocade robe, with a blue ground, twirling branches and patterns of treasures, and gilt silk on the brocade, which is a magnificent scene.

"This, this is—"

The maid replied with a smile, "This is the brocade weaving."

Weaving gold, as the name suggests, is to weave gold threads into the brocade to present patterns and form a special luster.The gold thread used is either beaten into gold leaf and glued to the leather to cut into gold thread, or the gold sheet is wrapped around the velvet to make gold thread.

Many of them were well-traveled merchants who traveled from north to south, and some of them had brocade weaving business for generations. They knew that the technique of adding gold to silk fabrics had existed since the Warring States Period, but it was immature and rarely seen in later generations.

Never thought I'd see it here!And it works so seamlessly!

As far as this brocade robe is concerned, the colors are bright and gorgeous, and the decorations are exquisite. The two complement each other, as dazzling as the sun's rays. It is rich and magnificent without losing the sense of magnificence... All the merchants have been so beautiful that they are speechless.

They all looked at the second shackle, their expressions almost fanatical.

The white silk on the shackle fell to the ground.

It is a brocade gown with a blue-ground lotus pattern. The pattern is full of flowers, and the lotus complements it. The lines are smooth and gorgeous.

This time the waitress didn't wait for everyone to ask, and directly said the name of the double brocade.

Double-layer brocade, that is, the fabric of the inner and outer layers, is composed of two sets of warp threads and two sets of weft threads respectively interlaced to form an upper and lower layer overlapping each other...

After these two brocade robes, everyone saw more.

There are nearly seven kinds of patterns in the golden brocade alone, including the purple ground flower and bird pattern, the Qushui entwined flower and butterfly pattern, and the yellow ground partridge with auspicious grass pattern.Double-layer brocade has as many patterns as this.

The room is full of brilliance, it is really dazzling.

"I can see such a beautiful brocade in this life..."

"This trip is worthwhile, this trip is worthwhile..."

"Fortunately, it's here, who said that there is no good brocade in the Northland!"

Regardless of high or low or rich or poor, people's perception of beauty is always equal.

In the exhibition hall, no matter the big merchants, small traders, or local wealthy families and ordinary people, they are all immersed in this beautiful world.

They linger in front of brocades that are either shining in gold and silver, or soft and elegant, or rich and solemn, looking at and admiring them hungrily, wishing they could get all of them in their pockets.

Until the strike drum sounded and the tapestry meeting came to an end, they still refused to leave for a long time.
