How to Raise Thousands of Silkworm (Modern Chinese Sericulture)

[@sigyul2283]

I enjoy all the series you did on the Chinese poverty alleviation projects. Traveling to those places must be exhausting even with all the means from the modern transportation. It's truly remarkable that you are a witness and participant for such a historic endeavor.

@@TravelinChina Every word is true.

Most valuable show so far as I was thinking to have a visit to the famous silk making museum in Lyon, France from a tour trip next year. Although growing up in china in Suzhou, silkworm farmers were everywhere, I didn’t pay much attention to it. Now old in sixties, a childish curiosity born again, your video was right on the dinner table.

what is the stage of larvae you are eating? after they have made a cocoon. or before that?

[@canalesjuan356]

I miss your cute parents😂

[@卢天一]

In fact, before late Qing dynasty, Chinese silk producers would let the worms grow as butterflies and then collect the silk, because people thought it too cruel to kill them. However, when European silk producers just killed the worms and saved so much time, they gained a much higher productivity and could sell their silk at a very low price. Then, the Chinese silk producers adapted their way of production and started to kill worms in the late Qing dynasty.

Shucks - I was hoping you'd show how they tease out the silk threads from the cocoons, then perhaps on to the looms where they actually make the silk cloth from the threads. Perhaps a part 2 for the future?

Does anyone empathize that thousands upon thousands of silkworms are scorched to death with hot water to harvest the silk for a garment. Its just as inhumane as wearing fur.

[@chongliangzheng7006]

I think you got it wrong.

[@vespiary2066]

Well, with the way insect nervous systems work, boiling is more humane than you'd think. They don't feel pain in the same way that we do, and boiling quickly paralyzes their nervous system so they don't feel anything.
