High Level Protection And Inheritance Of Huzhou Sangji Fish Pond System

A few days ago, the old man Tan, a sericulture farmer in Shezhong Village, Linghu Town, Nanxun District, Huzhou, brought his own "golden cocoon" to Nanxun Yunhao Family Farm for sale. After weighing the cocoons, he received more than 6000 yuan in cash from Shen Xiaolong, the head of the farm, and happily settled an account with the reporter: he received two batches of silkworm eggs free of charge from Yunhao Family Farm every year, two for each batch, and could raise 1-2 more if his energy allowed. Each piece of silkworm eggs cocoons about 40 kg, and the annual income can reach about 10000 yuan.

As the birthplace of the world's important agricultural cultural heritage "Huzhou Sangji Fish Pond System", Shezhong Village has a tradition of sericulture for thousands of years. "Huzhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences provides high-quality silkworm eggs for silkworm farmers, while our farm provides breeding technology and is responsible for purchasing them." Shen Xiaolong said, "The production of silk with 'golden cocoon' eliminates the printing and dyeing process, is environmentally friendly and does not decolour, and has strong competitiveness in the market. The newly acquired 'golden cocoons' will be made into silk quilts for marriage. Taking 1.5kg as an example, one can sell for about 2000 yuan. "

Zhejiang, known as the "home of silk", is one of the cradles of China's silk industry and an important cocoon producing area in China. In order to inherit and develop this historical classic industry, various regions have come up with many ingenious ideas.

Heshan Town, Tongxiang City, Jiaxing City, is an important heritage area and protection area of sericulture and silk weaving skills in China. Every March, the town will hold a silkworm flower event, including silkworm flower ceremony, folk custom parade, sericulture and silk weaving skills exhibition. "Relying on the sericulture culture, our town has built a beautiful rural boutique line and a silkworm flower scenic spot Heshan Road. Baquan Village in the town also has a Chinese silkworm village custom experience hall, a sericulture intangible heritage hall, a silk weaving yard, etc. Welcome to come and have a look." The relevant responsible person of the town issued a warm invitation.

In Shengzhou City, Shaoxing, due to the developed tie industry, the annual consumption of silk reaches 7000 tons, 95% of which needs to be purchased from other places. In order to break the shackles of silk raw material supply, many local enterprises actively explore industrial silkworm breeding technology, Shengzhou Mosang High tech Co., Ltd. is one of them. "Our silkworms do not eat mulberry leaves, but eat 'biscuits' composed of bean curd dregs, corn flour, mulberry flour, complex vitamins and other ingredients, successfully breaking through the seasonal restrictions of sericulture and the high dependence of silkworms on mulberry leaves, and can achieve uninterrupted cocoon production throughout the year." Jin Yao, the chairman of the company, said that through the system integration of varieties, feed, production technology, disease prevention system, environmental control With a number of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, the company has now become the world's largest industrial breeding base for artificial silkworm feed. In 2023, the industrial cocoon output will account for 60% of our province.

In Li Jialin's Brocade Studio in Linping District, Hangzhou, the reporter was shocked by a brocade painting titled "Hangzhou Section of the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal". The houses, bridges, and vendors on the brocade paintings are detailed and lifelike, like a digital photo. "According to the traditional technology, weaving a piece of brocade can only use 15 colors of thread at most, which is difficult to show the ideal color effect. We have developed a high-density full display digital simulation color silk weaving technology, which can weave 4500 colors of brocade with only five colors of silk thread, namely red, yellow, blue, white and black, to achieve the photo level color restoration effect in front of us." Li Jialin, the head of the studio, introduced.

In recent years, Zhejiang has actively adjusted and optimized the industrial structure and production layout of sericulture, and promoted the high-level protection, inheritance and high-quality sustainable development of the sericulture industry. According to the survey statistics, in 2023, the planting area of mulberry gardens in our province will be 255600 mu, the number of silkworm eggs raised will be 590400, the production of fresh cocoons will be 25100 tons, and the export of silkworm eggs will be about 300000 pieces.
