Silk is known as 'carved silk'. In 2021, Dingzhou silk weaving skills were included in the fifth batch of national intangible cultural heritage representative projects. The most unique feature of its production is that it is 'through the warp and weft'. "In front of the booth, through the introduction of the staff, many visitors have a strong interest in the silk making skills.
Silk is known as 'an inch of silk and an inch of gold'. In the Sibentang exhibition hall, not only a variety of silk works are exhibited, but also a loom is placed, and a weaver sits on the loom while demonstrating and explaining, "If the pattern changes color, the original silk thread should be cut off immediately and replaced with another color silk thread." In this way, the junction of color and color forms obvious gaps and holes, as if it were carved out, so the silk is also called 'carved silk'. After visiting the Sibentang exhibition hall, Sun Liping, a tourist from Beijing, said that he had "gained knowledge".
The time-honored products carry the memories of a generation of children. The development of the "Time-honored Brand New Year" activity not only promotes traditional culture, but also drives festival consumption and enhances the festive atmosphere. Li Weiqiang, deputy director of the Dingzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism, said. (Hebei ** reporter Lin Fengbin).
