On the morning of April 3, 2013, an opening ceremony of “Memory of Sericulture in Yunlong Village” is held in CNSM. This exhibition is sponsored by Ecological Park of China’s Silk Cultural Heritage, and organized by CNSM, Haining Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, TV, Film, Press and Publication, Office of Haining Chronicles Compilation, and Yunlong Villagers Committee.
As one of the cradle lands of China silk and main places of silk production, the vast land of south of Yangtze Delta,where the Yunlong Village is located, is also renowned because of its unsurpassed richness by giving out massive fine silk every year. As an important item of "Sericulture and Silk Craftsmanship of China", the Yunlong sericulture and folk custom has been listed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009, and has become an item in Ecological Park of China’s Silk Cultural Heritage in 2011.
This exhibition depicts a whole picture of local sericulture-related lifestyle through photographs and profiles. By working hard on protecting and inheriting the sericulture and silk crafts of China, they will hopefully continue thriving on this wonderland.
