Weaving methods can be divided into two categories: woven fabric and knitted fabric. In terms of processing technology, it can be divided into grey cloth, bleached cloth, dyed cloth, printed cloth, yarn dyed cloth, mixed process cloth (such as printing on yarn dyed cloth, composite cloth, flocking cloth, imitation leather wool cloth), etc. It can also be divided into raw materials: cotton, chemical fiber cloth, linen, woolen cloth, silk, blended fabric, etc. Brief introduction to cloth characteristics 1. Cotton cloth It is the general name of all kinds of cotton textiles. It is mostly used to make fashion, casual wear, underwear and shirts. Its advantages are easy to keep warm, soft and close to the body, good moisture absorption and air permeability. Its disadvantage is that it is easy to shrink and wrinkle, and its appearance is not neat and beautiful. It must be ironed often when wearing. 2. Linen It is a kind of fabric made of hemp, flax, ramie, jute, sisal, banana and other hemp plant fibers. It is generally used to make casual clothes and work clothes, and it is also used to make ordinary summer clothes in 2013. It has the advantages of high strength, moisture absorption, heat conduction and good air permeability. Its disadvantage is that it is not very comfortable to wear, and its appearance is rough and stiff. 3. Silk It is a general term for all kinds of silk fabrics woven with silk as raw material. Like cotton, it has many varieties and different personalities. It can be used to make all kinds of clothes, especially for women's clothes. Its advantages are light, fit, soft, smooth, breathable, colorful, shiny, noble and elegant, and comfortable to wear. Its disadvantage is that it is easy to wrinkle, easy to suck, not strong enough and fade quickly. 4. Woolen Also known as wool, it is a general term for fabrics made of all kinds of wool and cashmere. It is usually suitable for making formal and high-grade clothes such as dresses, suits and coats. It has the advantages of wrinkle resistance and wear resistance, soft feel, elegant and crisp, elastic and strong warmth retention. Its disadvantage is that it is difficult to wash and is not suitable for making summer clothes. 5. Leather It is a tanned animal fur fabric. It is mostly used to make fashion and winter clothes. It can be divided into two categories: one is leather, that is, leather treated with wool in the past. The second is fur, that is, the treated leather with leather belt hair. Its advantage is light, warm and elegant. Its disadvantage is that it is expensive and requires high storage and care, so it should not be popularized. 6. Chemical fiber It is short for chemical fiber. It is a fiber textile made of high molecular compounds. Usually it is divided into two categories: artificial fiber and synthetic fiber. Their common advantages are bright colors, soft texture, crisp suspension, smoothness and comfort. Their disadvantages are poor wear resistance, heat resistance, moisture absorption and air permeability, easy to deform in case of heat and easy to generate static electricity. Although it can be used to make all kinds of clothes, the overall grade is not high and it is difficult to ascend the hall of elegance. Chemical fiber has three advantages in the early stage of development: First, it is strong and durable; Second, it is easy to take care of and has the characteristics of anti wrinkle and non ironing; Third, large-scale industrial production can be carried out, unlike natural fiber occupying land, time-consuming and laborious processing and limited output. 7. Blending It is a fabric made by mixing natural fiber and chemical fiber in a certain proportion. It can be used to make all kinds of clothes. Its advantage is that it not only absorbs the respective advantages of cotton, hemp, silk, wool and chemical fiber, so it is very popular. It also avoids their respective shortcomings as much as possible, and is relatively cheap in value. H-type and round table type design and modeling. Cool fabric cool fabric has clear lines and a sense of volume, which can form a plump garment outline. Common fabrics include cotton, polyester cotton, corduroy, linen and various medium and thick wool and chemical fiber fabrics. These fabrics can be used to highlight the accuracy of garment modeling, such as the design of suits and suits. Fabrics can be divided into insulation and anti-static according to their different physical properties. Insulating materials are usually used in daily life, while anti-static fabrics are mainly used to manufacture anti-static work clothes. They are special work clothes with dust-free and anti-static properties suitable for electronics, optical instruments, pharmaceuticals, microbial engineering, precision instruments and other industries, Its clothing material is generally synthetic fiber fabric embedded with conductive wire. It is to prevent the accumulation of static electricity in clothes. It is suitable for wearing in places sensitive to static electricity or places with fire or explosion hazards. Extended data history Chinese clothing has a long history, which can be traced back to ancient times. Bone needles about 18000 years ago were excavated in the ape man cave in Zhoukoudian, Beijing. Tubular bone needles and other objects were also unearthed in the Neolithic site of Hemudu, Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. It can be inferred that these bone needles were used to sew original clothes at that time. The first clothes worn by Chinese ancestors were aprons made of leaves or animal skins. Later, the clothing of each dynasty had its own characteristics, which was closely related to the level of agriculture, animal husbandry and textile production at that time. During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, men and women wore the "deep clothes" style in which the top and bottom clothes were connected. Hemp, ramie and pueraria fabrics are the bulk clothing materials of the working people. Rulers and nobles used silk fabrics extensively. Wool, feather and kapok fibers are also used in some areas. In the Han Dynasty, the spinning performance, weaving and printing and dyeing technology of silk and hemp fibers were very developed. Dyed fabrics included yarn, silk, silk, brocade, cloth and silk, and clothing materials were greatly rich. The unearthed plain yarn Zen clothes of the Western Han Dynasty weigh only 49G, which shows that they can be made into light and transparent long clothes with mulberry silk at that time. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the rulers also made strict hierarchical regulations on clothing, making clothing a symbol of power. Hemp cloth is widely used for Naomi daily clothes, and silk is generally used for skirts. With the increase of exchanges between China and foreign countries, clothing styles also affect each other. For example, tuanhua's clothing is influenced by Persia; Monks wear Indian clothing "cassock". Today, Japanese kimonos still retain the clothing style of the Tang Dynasty. From the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Ming Dynasty, most of the clothes were wide clothes with large sleeves, and most of the coats were robes. Manchu costumes such as mandarin jacket and cheongsam were popular in the Qing Dynasty, while manual workers wore short coats and trousers. In modern times, due to the development of textile industry, the variety and quantity of fabrics available for garment production increased, which promoted garment production. After the revolution of 1911, especially after the May 4th movement, Zhongshan clothes and student clothes, which absorbed the characteristics of Western clothes, began to appear. After 1950, Zhongshan suit has almost become a popular dress in China, and the gown has almost disappeared. With the emergence of a large number of high-quality fabrics, clothing styles have also developed. Modern fashion design has become a branch of Arts and crafts, and garment production has realized industrialized mass production. "According to the clothing system of the three generations, although there are different people, except for the crown clothes, there is only xuanduan (Duanyi) Deep clothes are the two most widely used. Xuanduan can be served from the emperor to scholars, and deep clothes can be served from the emperor to the common people... As for deep clothes, they are made into sewn lapels and moved in accordance with etiquette and law, so those who are cheap can be served, those who are expensive can be served, the imperial court can be served, Yan private can be served, the emperor can be served for the elderly, princes can be served for sacrificial meals, officials can be served for privacy at night, and common people can be served for guest sacrifices. There is no grade. Don't cut your clothes, kill evil people, round your clothes, cover your clothes, and waste your clothes. It is eight feet eight inches in length, two feet two inches in length and square in four corners, so it is called the end. Its clothes, the first three and the last four, must have countless pieces, which is called the only clothes. The ancients had "xuanduan in the morning and deep clothes in the evening".
