Zunyi Silk Products

　　　　Zunyi silk has a long history and is the birthplace of silk production in Guizhou. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the techniques of tussah silkworm breeding and silk reeling were introduced from abroad. By the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Zunyi had become the trade center for silk in Guizhou. In recent years, the silk products produced here have been popular both domestically and even in Southeast Asia, with quality that rivals that of Hangzhou silk.

　　In addition, Zunyi’s silk products also include worker-peasant quilt covers, satin-backed jacquards, and Meili silk. The characteristics of these silk products are: tightly woven fabric, smooth and soft to the touch, warm and lustrous like jade, light and colorful, with the natural sheen unique to mulberry silk. Zunyi’s silk products are exported as far as Beijing, Shanghai, Lanzhou, and other locations. Raw silk and kimono silk are also exported to Japan, receiving high praise from customers both at home and abroad.
