The development of the Silk Road;

The overland Silk Road includes inland areas of China, Central Asia, West Asia, East Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Europe. The inland area of China is the cultural center of ancient China. The radiation area is wide and extends westward, which is directly connected with countries and nations in Central Asia, West Asia and beyond. This is a long history of economic, trade and cultural ties. Central Asia is a geopolitical transition zone between Asia and Europe (called the hinterland or middle zone by western geopolitical scholars).

Through this transitional zone, Asian inland people can directly enter the Caucasus, West Asia Peninsula and further East and Central Europe. The Persian Gulf, Arabian Sea, Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea in West Asia are strategic passages for Persians and Arabs to the East and the West. The inland of China is the starting point of the overland Silk Road, and Central Asia and West Asia are the key areas of the overland Silk Road, which is of great geopolitical significance to neighboring countries.

Matters needing attention in silk clothing maintenance:

1, because most silk garments are worn close to the body, it is particularly important whether the slip index of the garments is qualified. Slip refers to the slip or tear of the stitched fabric when the yarn in one direction slides on the yarn in the other direction under the pulling force of the vertical seam. The appearance of cracks will not only affect the beauty of clothing, but also seriously reduce the performance of clothing.

2. Silk fabrics are light and smooth, which makes silk garments more prone to slippage compared with other garments, and slippage has also become an important factor restricting the quality of silk garments. It is reported that sewing needles, stitch density and hemming are the main technological factors that affect the slippage of silk garments.

3. When purchasing silk clothing, we should pay attention to whether the surface is smooth, whether there are any phenomena such as fuzzing, gray injury and dyeing, and whether there are any defects or holes. The method of identifying silk is also very simple. Silk feels a little scratched, and when it rubs against each other, it can hear the crisp sound, that is, the silk sound, but the fabrics of other raw materials do not.
