Wei County is located in the southern part of Hebei Province, 51 kilometers southeast of Handan City. Wei County was Guanhu State in the Xia Dynasty, Wei Wuhou's secondary capital in the Warring States Period, and Cipu in the Qin Shihuang period. It belonged to Handan East County. Wei County was established in the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (195 BC) and has been in existence ever since. Wei County has a long history of native spinning and weaving. Since cotton was introduced to China from India in the 7th century, it has shifted from hemp spinning to cotton textile industry. In the Yuan Dynasty, under the influence of Huang Daopo's textile machinery and technological reform, Wei County's native spinning and weaving industry developed, and clothes and quilts made of homespun cloth have become necessities in people's lives. Wei County's native spinning and weaving industry has gone through the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and reached its peak in the Republic of China and the early days of liberation. Every rural household in the county has a spinning wheel and a loom, and adult women can spin and weave. The local spinning and weaving techniques in Wei County are complicated, including 12 processes such as rubbing knots, spinning, beating, dyeing, sizing, winding, warp, printing, untangling, running the shuttle, tying the machine, and weaving. The key process that determines the stripes and patterns of local spinning and weaving is the design and arrangement of the warp and weft colored threads and the number of silks. There are three types of silks: two-page silk, three-page silk, and four-page silk. The two-page silk can weave white cloth and striped cloth with a single shuttle; the orderly arrangement of the warp and weft colored threads can weave a variety of checkered cloth. After a long period of production experience of the majority of women, the local spinning and weaving in Wei County has created more than 200 kinds of stripes and patterned cloth. There are more than 100 kinds of checkered cloth, such as "pomegranate seeds", "mat pattern", "sieve bottom", "Soviet Union big blossom", "Soviet Union small blossom", etc.; there are more than 50 kinds of striped cloth, such as "twisted thread", "melon road", "cucumber road", "half face", etc.; there are more than 50 kinds of three-page and four-page silk cloth, such as "yin-yang face", "rapeseed green", "yak pear yellow", "seven-color eight-angle pattern", "tofu cube", etc. However, in the 1960s, due to the development of machine textile industry, the production of local cloth was gradually neglected. By the 1990s, people re-recognized the advantages of cotton cloth in perspiration, warmth, non-toxicity and health care, and wearing cotton cloth re-emerged in rural and urban areas. According to the survey, there are more than 100 villages and more than 3,000 households in the county that have machines to produce local cloth. By 1983, in addition to the traditional hand-spinning and hand-weaving crafts, the local spinning and weaving production in Wei County has added a new process of hand-weaving cloth from machine-spun yarn. At present, there are three machine lines and warping processing points in the county, which have promoted the development of local spinning and weaving production in Wei County. At present, as the elderly pass away one after another and young people are no longer willing to learn, the skills of local spinning and weaving are in serious threat of being lost, and the task of protection is urgent.
