Modern Situation of Chinese Textile Industry

中国纺织业的现状

In today's reforming and opening China , while many mass production enterprises are the principAl force in textile industry,traditional folk textile still has its share in the market. Along with the rise of people's living standard， folk textile as a practical and aesthetic handiwork has nevertheless won people's favor. Traditional spinning and weaving techniques and ancient looms are still playing their role in vast areas in the country. For example, the rural women in the southwest part of Shandong Province are still making a cotton fabric that enjoys a good reputation as “Luxinan brocade”, while the rural women in Mount Yimeng area's handmade printed cotton fabrics are also well liked in the world market. Traditional folk textiles as such enter into the lives of various nationalities carrying with them the strong cultural flavor and also bearing evidence of Chinese women's diligence and intelligence.

随着现今中国的改革开放，纺织工业是许多大规模生产企业的主要力量，民间传统纺织仍然有其市场份额。随着人们生活水平的提高，民间纺织作为一种实用和美观的手工也仍赢得了人们的青睐。传统的纺织技术和古老的织布机在广大地区的国家仍然发挥着重要作用。例如，在山东省西南部的部分农村妇女仍在织棉织物，享有良好的声誉“鲁西南锦”，而在沂蒙地区的农村妇女做的手工印花纯棉布在世界市场也很受欢迎。传统民间纺织就这样携着各民族浓厚的文化韵味进入世界，也是中国女性勤劳和智慧的证据。
