Deep Investigation: Worries Of China'S Silk Industry (Three)

In recent years, the position and influence of silk in China's national economy is becoming smaller and smaller.

Moreover, the influence of silk in the countries and regions where the original main selling market is also weakening.

This is caused by many reasons.

First of all, the importance of many industries such as energy, pportation, architecture, communication and environmental protection in the national economic construction has always been highlighted.

Secondly, the new industrial revolution occurs more frequently in industries or fields other than silk.

For example, the popularization and application of biotechnology in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries, poultry, eggs, fruits, vegetables and tea has greatly promoted the level of agricultural productivity and improved the diet of billions of people.

New agriculture has also opened up and provided a wide range of raw materials for light industry, medicine, food and other industries.

In this process, mulberry silkworm breeding has been challenged by other agricultural breeding projects.

In addition, the progress of material science and textile industry makes the textile not only get rid of the basic pattern of cotton wool and hemp on the raw material, but also make progress in the mechanical equipment, and make the final product variety in the moment change infinitely, greatly improving the development space and efficiency of the textile clothing enterprise.

In particular, the emergence and fine spinning of various new fibers make many fabrics close to silk in function, but the cost of production is much lower than that of silk.

The clothes made of these fabrics adapt to the modern urban life.

Fast tempo

It matches the function of mainstream washing and maintenance products and electrical appliances in today's life.

Silk is constrained by many weak points such as meticulous care, wrinkle and fading. It is difficult to popularize consumption and high production costs. This is an important reason why it is difficult to see or rarely see silk products in general stores.

Similarly, the importance of silk in the state's foreign trade commodities can not be compared with that of the past.

Objectively speaking, silk production and commodity markets are obviously squeezed from all sides.

30 years since reform and opening up,

Silk industry

Development has been rapid, and great changes have taken place in the distribution pattern and scale of enterprises.

With the development of industrialization and urbanization in southeast coastal areas of China, especially in small towns, the mulberry sericulture has gradually shifted to the western region.

The west of China is on the brink of ASEAN and South Asian countries. It is the hot spot of world economic growth nowadays.

The central government has accelerated the economic construction in the central and western regions as the top priority of the "12th Five-Year plan", and has given many preferential policies and measures.

It is foreseeable that China's western region will soon usher in a new round of development, and the sericulture in the East will gradually migrate to the central and western regions.

Silk industry in eastern China is likely to decline gradually as western countries do.

Such a situation has already taken shape.

The most obvious example is the various sectors of the silk industry in the eastern part of China.

Practitioner

Less and less, the situation of lack of follow-up has been formed.

At least in the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, almost all of the rural mulberry sericulture sericulture people are unable to go out to work, but the old and weak people who are left behind at home are mostly over 40 years old.

In the silk industry, the lack of skilled workers is a puzzle for enterprises. The head of the workshop, the operation backbone, the process designer, and the middle managers are generally old and unsuccessed.

Some historical ancestral crafts are also uninherited.

Some people worry that Wu Ling, a tribute from the Tang Dynasty, is likely to be seen only in the annals of history.

In marketing, young people who have knowledge of silk goods and trade talents can hardly exist. It is also very difficult for enterprises to cultivate a two party salesperson.

Judging from the current situation of higher education, the problem is even more obvious: the professional schools with silk titles are completely gone, and even the professional departments in universities are gone.

Previously, in addition to two professional silk technology institutes in Zhejiang and Suzhou, there were sericultural or silk departments in several key agricultural institutions. Systematic education was carried out from basic theories related to mulberry cultivation, silkworm making, silk making, clothing design, and technical operation, and trained valuable professional talents for China's silk industry.

And today, after a few generations of pure silk education, the retreat from higher education, does it foreshadowed the future and destiny of the silk industry?
