海南纺织史若干问题的探讨

A Discussion on Some Puzzles in the Textile History of Hainan

海南纺织业历史悠久、遐迩闻名,黎族传统纺染织绣技艺为中国棉纺织业和世界手工技艺遗产的传承和发展做出了重要贡献。但由于黎族没有文字,历史文献记述又过于简约,留下许多疑难问题,如:"穿胸民"、"广幅布"、"吉贝"、"琼布",等等。论题通过对海南纺织史若干问题的考证分析,提出一些独到的见解。

With its long history and being well-known across the world,the traditional textile dyeing and weaving crafts of Hainan Li people contribute greatly to the inheritance and development of Chinese cotton textile industry and world handcraft heritages.But being without language writing system and having excessively simple records in historical literature,it also leaves some puzzles,such as ＂chest-holed people＂,＂wide-woven cloth＂,＂Ji Bei cloth（mixed ceiba fabric）＂,＂Qiong（abbreviation for Hainan） local cloth＂,HUANG Dao-po（a famous Chinese lady weaving master in Yuan dynasty）,etc.This article tries to offer some unique insights into the textual research and analysis of Hainan textile history.
