Dream Of Golden Silk ...

"Who went to Quang to call for Duy Xuyen - To buy silk, soft silk Duy Xuyen - To listen to the love song - The side of the bride is smooth, the side of the spinning wheel".

In the late afternoon of the year, the words of soft lips and deep love brought me back to the land of tangled silkworm Ma Chau, Duy Xuyen, Quang Nam.

"Ma Chau silk - the soul of the Ma Chau people", Mr. Tran Huu Phuong opened such a story. Ma Chau silk existed from the sixteenth century, transmitted from generation to generation. Silk has a unique appearance and characteristics of the Ma Chau people thanks to being made entirely from natural silk through skillful hands of experienced artisans in the village. The memories of a flourishing childhood of Quang silk followed the men driving all over the world, four tanks from Hoi An trading port made Mr. Phuong's eyes glow.

“In the flourishing period of the profession, the whole village of Ma Chau also heard the sounds of silk weaving with more than 4,000 looms delivered day and night. There are times, mulberry planting area for Ma Chau silk village up to thousands of hectares stretching along Thu Bon river "- Mr. Phuong regrets.

Yet in the early years of the 21st century, when cheap Chinese goods rushed into Vietnam, Ma Chau silk could not compete well and gradually drifted into oblivion. The memory of the famous traditional silk village of Quang, according to which, no one reminds. Loving the silkworm, silk thread, Mr. Tran Huu Phuong embraced the ambition of restoring the golden age of silk with the spiritual support of his two daughters Yen - Oanh, who is also the 19th transmission of the Ma Chau silk village.

Starting from the mulberry trees, the true silkworms plus the bachelor's degree in economics, Yen - Oanh promoted the design and promotion of her silk products at the online forums, and also sold them directly. in Hoi An and Quang Nam. Like silkworms until the day of spitting silk, after many hardships, the number of tourists was looking to buy Ma Chau silk more and more.

Green Back To The Mulberry Fields

Also heavy with a long-lost traditional profession, Mr. Le Thai Vu, the owner of Hoi An Silk Village - Director of Quang Nam Silk Joint Stock Company, made a bold decision to quit his very business. Success in Ho Chi Minh City to return to Hoi An homeland to build a profession of growing mulberry and raising silkworms.

"To bring the traditional silk back to the Vietnamese people, first of all, myself must be the owner of an item made of silk. The scarf, the camisole or the ao dai ... of the Vietnamese woman has been beautiful since ancient times, although now, how much life is modern, silk still has a strange attraction. Beautiful silk, I want every woman to be beautiful when using products made from pure silk of Vietnam "- Mr. Vu said.

The love and dedication helped Mr. Vu restore the true living museum of silk and almost all stages of making Ma Chau traditional silk at Hoi An Silk Village. In addition to rediscovering artisans specializing in growing mulberry, silkworm, reeling, silk weaving, Mr. Vu also cooperated with Quang Nam province to survey material areas in Dai Loc, Duy Xuyen and Dien Ban districts. target of recovering 150 hectares of strawberry along Thu Bon river.

“More than 5 hectares of mulberry have been newly planted in Go Noi and Dien Quang with many new varieties for high productivity as well as modern silkworm breeding. In particular, businesses will also be responsible for output. Therefore, I believe the prospect of recovering this job is very large, ”Mr. Vu said.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Thanh, Director of Dien Quang Agricultural Cooperative, former Director of Quang Nam - Da Nang Export Incubator Enterprise, did not hide his joy when the project of restoring the mulberry growing area for silkworms was implemented: "Hoi In the past, at the peak I planted about 340ha of mulberry, raising nearly 300 tons of cocoons. So when this job is gone, I'm sorry. Compared to crop cultivation, mulberry cultivation not only brings about 5-10 times higher economic value, but also attaches to the environment because I do not use pesticides. Not to mention, mulberry trees have a great effect in protecting the land, each season floods mulberry trees lying down to embrace the soil and accumulate silt, preventing landslides ”.

According to Mr. Le Tri Thanh, Vice Chairman of Quang Nam People's Committee, this is a good time to revive mulberry farming because the market has good signals, especially with the participation of some businesses. as well as the ability to connect with major corporations in the world in bringing export products.

“This is a great opportunity for the government to cooperate with people and businesses to form a value chain, thereby restoring the mulberry cultivation and silkworm raising. With suitable conditions on soil, Quang Nam is determined to restore the mulberry growing area on Thu Bon and Vu Gia river grounds to both keep the soil, limit erosion, and enhance the economic value for the people. "- Mr. Le Tri Thanh affirmed.

There is mania, prosperity. There is prosperity and tomorrow. Traditional occupation of silkworm raising can not be outside that indispensable rule. But, the fresh wind has returned, so that there are people who love their homeland, miss the silk but turn back to restore. Here, one can dream of a golden day of Quang origin silk, when the silk squares are "flying" out of the Vietnamese border to international friends with the cultural crystallization and pride of a Vietnamese beauty.
