Poem Qingming by Du Mu, an ancient Chinese Poet
                      ---by Jasom from Predatex Silk CO.,LTD. on 31st MAR.2017
It is Qingming Festival time of the year again! It is a time for family gathering and sweeping tombs of past family members.
As it has been a so ancient festival that I have no idea how it comes in to being or why, but I guess people in the ancient time put up this festival at the very Spring time of year to pray for a harvest year when they are about to seed.
As long as people talk about Qingming Festival, a poem comes out from every Chinese mouth, elder or kids…
     

   
      清明 ---杜牧

    清明時節雨紛紛，
    路上行人欲斷魂。
    借問酒家何處有？
    牧童遙指杏花村。
I am trying to translate it by myself, yet I know I am not qualified to manage that! However, I checked over on the internet and found many versions of translation, below seems to be the best in my view,

Qing Ming by Du Mu
It drizzles endless during the rainy season in spring,
Travelers along the road look gloomy and miserable.
When I ask a little shepherd boy where I can find a tavern,
It points at a distant hamlet nestling amidst apricot blossoms.

Mulberry silk fabric or Tussah silk fabric?! Which is better? ----By Lynn from Predatex Silk Co., Ltd

1.    Difference from their silk worms!

Mulberry silk fabrics are made of mulberry silk which is cocooned by mulberry silk worms who feed on mulberry leaves while tussah silk fabrics are made of mulberry silk which is cocooned by tussah silk worms who feed on tussah leaves.  And they are no the same kind of silk worms at all! Nowadays mulberry silk worms are raised by people and tussah silk worms are wild worms.

2.     Difference from their appearance,handfeel, usage and price!

Mulberry silk fabric is in delicate white, supple and flexible with fine and symmetry fiber.

While tussah silk fabric is relatively stiff in handfeel and the thickness is uneven with more knots. The color for tussah fabric is not as white as mulberry, but some kind of gray and blue!

In general, the application of mulberry silk fabric is more extensive. It is the first choice for gowns and fashion with items such as silk satin charmeuse, silk georgette, silk crepe de chine, silk habutai, silk chiffon and so on. And tussah silk is mainly used for quilt or silk blanket,sometimes coats.

Pricewise, because the mulberry silkworms need artificial farming with much greater demand, so the price is higher than the tussah silk fabrics in general.

3.    Which is better indeed? Mulberry silk or Tussah silk!

Personally I think mulberry silk fabric is better as they have been well recognized by people for thousands of years for its luxurious characteristics. Even through tussah silk fabrics are recently used by some designers for fashion uses due to its “raw”and “wild” characteristics, they are still not widely used or accepted! Of course, Predatex Silk is specialized for mulberry silk fabric for many years and we might have some “biases”on this issue! Then what do you think about this issue or would you like to know more? Fine, contact Predatex Silk through website: www.predatextile.com or send us emails directly with our sales director Jasom via jasom@predatextile.com
