historical origin
The origin of Song brocade can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period. The nobles of Wu State, located in the south of the Yangtze River, have used brocade extensively in their lives. Over time
With the development of the Song Dynasty, brocade weaving skills were comprehensively improved in the Northern Song Dynasty. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Suzhou became the center of silk production in China. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Suzhou established its own courtyard. At that time, a new variety of brocade with exquisite texture and unique skills appeared in Suzhou, namely, Song brocade of Suzhou. It was used not only for clothing and clothing, but also for mounting of calligraphy and painting scrolls. There were more than 40 kinds of brocade. Especially the application of mounted calligraphy and painting, so that these beautiful and luxurious brocade and painting treasures can be preserved together. So later generations talked about brocade will be called Song, Song brocade from this name, passed down.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Suzhou also had the Suzhou Weaving House, whose production and marketing of court weaving and folk silk weaving were flourishing, known as "Northeast Half City, Wanhu Machine Voice". The use of Song brocade fabrics expanded, especially in the reign of Kangxi and Qianlong, when Song brocade reached its heyday. The "Brocade Axis of the Bliss World" collected by the Palace Museum is the heavy brocade produced in Suzhou during the Qianlong period.
Technological characteristics
Song brocade is rich in color and has distinct layers. It does not need strong contrast colors, but uses several similar layers of colors to render halo. Its background color mostly uses beige, blue grey, mud gold, Lake color, etc. The characteristics of the main flower's stamens or patterns are moderate and bright with special colors, while the small patterns of the flowers wrapping or separating two kinds of colors are coordinated and neutral. The ingenious cooperation of various colors forms the solemn and beautiful style of Song Jin, which is suitable for halo rendering, complex but not disorderly, elegant and harmonious, and antique.
Technological process
There are many production processes in Song brocade, which usually go through more than 20 processes, such as silk reeling, dyeing and weaving. With the combination of warp and weft, Song and Jin dynasties, and the unique technique of color change by color throwing, the fabric surface color lines and organizational layers are more abundant. This technique was borrowed by Yunjin later, and has been popular in contemporary brocade weaving techniques.
The traditional Song brocade is woven on jacquard wood machine with two warp shafts and nine syntheses of ground warp and face warp. The ground is controlled by six synthesizers and the surface is controlled by three synthesizers. The motion of the heddle is controlled by six pedals, of which three pedals are connected to two heddles at the same time (because the two heddles are connected to rise and fall at the same time) in order to reduce the density of the heddle line. When weaving, there are twisters on top and weavers on the bottom, echoing from top to bottom, dispatching heald frames and throwing multi-color weft shuttles in exchange. Now, in weaving Song Jin, the pattern jacquard machine has been used instead.
