The Basic Structure Of The Jacquard Loom

Ancient ordinary looms used one or two pieces of warp (parts that lift warp) to lift singular or even warp threads at the same time to form a shuttle in order to send weft and weft and weave plain fabrics. The jacquard loom has many healds, which control thousands of warp threads for different lifting movements, and together with the interwoven threads, the weft threads are intricately interwoven into fabrics with various patterns and text patterns. The silk fabrics of Shang and Western Zhou already had simple geometric patterns on them, and it can be seen that there were jacquard machines at that time. During the Spring and Autumn Warring States, quite exquisite brocade and literature have appeared complex and changeable birds, beasts, dragons and phoenix patterns, it can be seen that the jacquard device has become more complex from simple, should have used flat hanging jacquard and a loom with foot pedals, and may use thread to lift a single warp to combine the same lifting movement of the line into a bundle, that is, a bundle, together lifting. The jacquard fabrics found in the Han Dynasty are mainly Wenqi, Wenjin and Wenluo.
