汉代河北纺织业略论

Hebei's textile industry in the Han Dynasty

河北种植桑麻、养蚕缫丝历史悠久,范围广泛,具有发展纺织业的良好条件。两汉时期,河北是我国纺织业较发达的地区之一。西汉末年,河北劳动人民在长期积累的纺织经验的基础上发明了提花机。钜鹿、清河以北的赵郡、中山和常山等处是东汉河北丝织业集中的地区。在河北汉代墓葬中发现了不少丝织品实物,反映了双代纺织业的高超技术水平。东汉时,河北的麻织业也有了较大发展。

Hebei had had a long history of planting mulberry and fibrous crops; enabling the development of sericulture and textile industry in the West Han and East Han dynasties. In the late West Han Dynasty, jacquard loom was invented in Hebei. Julu,Zhaojun,Zhongshan and Changshan to the north of Qing-be River used to be the textile centers in Hebei in East Han Dynasty. In the Han graves a lot of silk fabrics have been found, which shows that Hebei' s textile industry had highly developed in the West and East Han dynasties. In the East Han Dynasty Hebei linen fabric textile had also developed in a big way.
