Definition of textile industry
The definition of textile industry is that the cotton yarn produced is processed by textile machines. The textile industry is roughly divided into two processes: spinning and weaving. According to legend, the origin of China textile began with sericulture and silk refining in Lei Zu. Archaeologists found bone needles in the archaeological sites of Paleolithic Neanderthals. In order to know the earliest origin of textile, the spinning wheel was invented in the Neolithic Age, which made silk smelting more convenient. The earliest textile machines appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty: spinning wheels and rollers, which were invented in the Han Dynasty. The most famous textile in China is silk. Silk trade promoted the cultural exchange and traffic development between the East and the West, and indirectly affected the commerce and military affairs of the West. In the early days of the British industrial revolution, there were factories with detailed division of labor. However, the cotton yarn produced by 6- 8 weavers can only supply 1 weavers, which has caused the so-called "yarn shortage". 1765, an English weaver named Hargreaves invented a new spinning machine. He named this machine after his daughter, which is the famous Jenny spinning machine. The improvement and invention of the new spinning machine promoted the development of British textile industry, and indirectly affected the occurrence of Gandhi's non-cooperative movement in India in the future. Textile industry involves many fields and there are several classification methods.
