Abstract

In order to explore the archaeological value of ming dynasty huzhou silk damask and improve the inheritance effect of silk culture, this paper analyzes from the perspective of huzhou textile culture. The material, dye and weaving technology of ming dynasty huzhou silk damask were observed with a high-definition microscope, the weaving strength was detected by a film strength measuring instrument, and its warmth was observed by infrared equipment, and its cultural connotation was collected through CNKI and Wanfang websites, and it was summarized and compared. The results showed that the material of ming dynasty huzhou silk damask was mainly mulberry silk, the weaving form was three (vertical and horizontal, cross and winding), the dyes were safflower, sumac, bluegrass, black bean, gardenia, turmeric, locust flower, gallnut, etc., and the main component was alkaloids. The insulation effect of silk is balanced, the permeability is strong, and the weaving strength is uniform. ming dynasty huzhou silk damask adopts natural dyeing methods such as grass dyeing, and the use of Chinese traditional weaving technology is a representative, with a large space for sustainable development, is a representative case of huzhou textile culture development, and can promote the inheritance of ming dynasty huzhou silk damask.
