Overseas Chinese Media Representatives Incarnate As Rural "Weavers" To Experience Traditional Cotton Textile Techniques

On May 21, in Yuncheng, Shanxi, overseas Chinese media representatives from the United States, France and other countries and regions entered the Huichang Homemade Cloth Cultural Tourism Industrial Park in Dongkaizhang Village, Yongji City. More than ten "weavers" were rushing to make orders. A shuttle shuttled among hundreds of colored threads. With the creaking of looms, the colorful homespun slowly took shape.

Yongji is the production base of high-quality cotton in China, and the native cloth has been used in the folk for more than 1000 years. Huichang homespun cloth has a complex and exquisite production technique, which requires 72 processes such as ginning, marbling and spinning. In 2021, it will be included in the fifth batch of national intangible cultural heritage representative projects. (Reporter Zhang Licheng)
