Chinese New Year 2018 ----By Lynn from Predatex Silk Co., Ltd

The coming Chinese New Year is 2018-02-16, which is 5 days away. This year's animal sign is the DOG!

Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, or simply the Lunar New Year, is an important Chinese festival celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. Celebrations traditionally run from the evening preceding the first day, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first calendar month. The first day of the New Year falls on the new moon between 21 Jan and 20 Feb. In 2017, the first day of the Lunar New Year was on Saturday, 28 January, initiating the year of the Rooster. The upcoming year of the Dog commences on Friday, 16 February 2018.

Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Lunar New Year vary widely. Often, the evening preceding Lunar New Year's Day is an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly clean the house, something which in Chinese culture is only done once per year. Many Chinese restaurants will also use the New Year to clean as well in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for incoming good luck. Windows and doors are decorated with red color paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of "good fortune" or "happiness", "wealth", and "longevity". Other activities include lighting firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes. In about one third of the Mainland population, or 500 million Northerners, dumplings feature prominently in the meals celebrating the festival.

People will normally visit relatives and friends, do some shopping, watch traditional Chinese shows, launch fireworks, and plan for the coming year. The celebration will sometimes be highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of heaven, earth, the family ancestors and other gods. In modern China, working professionals will normally have 7 days of holiday including the weekend to celebrate. After the family reunion, some modern Chinese families may take the chance to visit tourist destinations.

Sandwash Silk, This Is A Style

Strictly speaking, sandwash should belong to a washing process. Sandwash refers to the fabric washed with alkaline water. Due to the use of alkaline water to wash the fabric, it causes alkali erosion of silk fabrics( more severe erosion of silk fibers), the fiber surface becomes uneven and rough. However, Sandwash represents an all brand new style after its being well received in the market.

After the sandwash, the surface of silk fabric looks like there being a layer of white hair, so that the fabric has an hairy feeling and vintage style. It is because of the severe erosion of the base that the previously stiffer fiber structure becomes softer and thus the overall piece of fabric becomes more supple as a whole.

Because different customers and sellers require different severity of sandwash effect, so if you would like to purchase our sandwash silk fabrics, it is generally required to send samples before production so we can know the severity of sand washing.

A person whose skin is susceptible to allergies should choose silk fabric

Silk fabrics have following characteristics:

comfortable sensation, good hygroscopicity, good dehumidification, sound absorption, dust absorption, uvioresistant.

Silk is composed of protein with soft and smooth handfeel. Coefficient of friction with skin is only 7.4%, which is much better than other fabrics.

When silk fabric touches people’s skin , there will be a soft, fine and smooth feeling.

No other fabrics can compare with the natural hygroscopicity and dehumidification of silk fabrics.

Because of the porosities of silk fabrics, it can absorb air. So silk fabrics can absorb moisture in the humid environment or distribute moisture in the dry environment. If we wear silk clothes, sweat and heat can distribute quickly so to make you feel cool.

Because of the porosities of silk fabrics, silk fabric has the characteristics of sound absorption and dust absorption.

There are unique health functions for silk fabrics. The silk fiber contains 18 amino acids which are almost like the amino acids of the skin, so the silk fabric is named “the second skin of people”. At the same time, the silk fabric can absorb ultraviolet radiation and promote the metabolism of skin cells. This natural function cannot be achieved by rayon or other fabrics at all. It also adds to the precious value of silk fabric.
