CCTV News: The series of reports on "New Consumption of National Trends" focus on traditional silk crafts - Song Jin. Song brocade is mainly produced in Suzhou. It has gorgeous colors and exquisite patterns. It is a category with relatively complex craftsmanship among silk products and is known as the "Crown of Brightness". As the temperature picks up, people go out to enjoy the spring scenery, and Songjin clothing has also become a popular item in the "new Chinese" outfits, with sales volumes greatly increasing.

Open the live broadcast room where you buy Songjin products on your mobile phone and you will find that a large number of popular patterns are either incomplete codes or in stock. Ms. Fang, who lives in Guangxi, is very interested in Song Jin and can't buy the style she likes online, so she simply goes directly to Suzhou to buy Song Jin.

With the popularity of consumers, merchants have greater motivation to launch new products. On Guanqian Street in Suzhou, a store’s window displays the Song Jin series that has just been put on the shelves.

The reporter learned that the price of all silk Songjin fabrics is above 800 yuan per meter. Some merchants use Song Jin Yu materials to make cultural and creative products such as hairpins and sachets, which not only lowers the threshold for purchasing Song Jin, but also provides corresponding matching for clothing.

The supply of popular Songjin fabrics is in short supply. Buyers are "queuing up for goods"

Songjin products are hot, which means that the demand for fabrics has soared. Many businesses engaged in new Chinese clothing said that popular colors of Songjin fabrics cannot be found in stock and need to wait for a long time. At the same time, fabric manufacturers are also speeding up to expand production and increase production capacity.

At 6 pm, a store selling Songjin fabrics in Suzhou is about to close. Zhou Qiaoqiao, who runs a new Chinese clothing store in the local area, is still choosing. Recently, a batch of new Songjin fabrics containing mother-of-pearl have begun to be pre-sale, and she has to come to purchase them every two days. Zhang Dan from Shenzhen is interested in another popular fabric. Since she booked it early, she could return home with a full load.

In order to meet the growing demand for Song brocade fabrics, fabric manufacturers have fully launched electronic jacquard machines that meet the traditional Song brocade weaving process and various technical parameters, improving Song brocade production efficiency.

Songjin production mechanization has increased the scale of the industry and reduced production costs.

Suzhou, Jiangsu: The demand for high-quality silk has increased significantly, and enterprises have cultivated new silkworm seeds to improve quality.

Songjin uses silk as the main raw material. With the popularity of Songjin fabrics, the demand for high-quality silk has gradually increased. Many enterprises have improved the quality and yield of silk by cultivating new silkworm seeds and improving breeding technology.

At a silkworm breeding base in Wujiang District, Suzhou City, a batch of silkworms are ready to form cocoons. This batch of silkworms is a new breed that has been cultivated. Compared with traditional silkworms, it is easier to survive in the same environment. The cocoon yields are more, and the silk is relatively uniform, which can meet the national 5A-level standard.

Although the new silkworm species improves the quality and quantity of silk, due to the influence of the season, they can only produce two seasons of cocoons a year. In Shengzhou, Zhejiang, all-age silkworm farming factories have broken seasonal restrictions and achieved annual cocoon production through feeding.

At present, the factory produces an average daily cocoon production of 90 tons, and the silk strength and cleanliness have been significantly improved, achieving standardized silk production and providing guarantees for the downstream high-end fabric industry.
