Visiting the “Silk Capital of the South”: Xiangyun yarn industry takes a new path of development
Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province is known as the “Silk Capital of the South”, where the dyeing and finishing techniques of Xiangyun yarn are completely preserved. Xiangyun yarn is the only silk fabric dyed with pure plant dyes among the world’s textiles. It is praised as “soft gold” by the silk industry, and the “Xiangyun yarn dyeing and finishing technology” is also National intangible cultural heritage. In recent years, tax cuts and fee reductions and refined services have injected new vitality into the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.
To trace the origin of Xiangyun yarn, you have to start at Lunjiao 456 Silkworm Culture and Creative Park in Shunde District. Here, you can read about the life of silkworms, see ancient silk reeling machines, and understand the development history of the silk industry. Lunjiao 456 Silkworm Culture and Creative Park is a cultural and creative industry development project founded by Guangdong Lunjiao Silkworm Breeding Farm (hereinafter referred to as “Lunjiao Silkworm Breeding Farm”) with education and training, innovation and entrepreneurship, and leisure experience as its core.
According to reports, Lunjiao Silkworm Breeding Farm is the earliest silkworm breeding farm in Guangdong, providing high-quality silk raw material support for the development of modern silkworms and silk textile industries, as well as the inheritance of Xiangyun yarn dyeing and finishing techniques. However, due to high costs and low economic benefits, the silkworm original breeding industry is declining.
“We have invested in building a creative park based on silkworm culture, hoping to pass on the ‘silk culture’.” Liu Yinghong, financial staff of Lunjiao Silkworm Breeding Farm, pointed out that to retain the roots of industry and culture, Lunjiao Silkworm Breeding Farm It must be upgraded and transformed to find a new path for development.
However, the transformation of Lunjiao 456 Silkworm Culture and Creative Park did not happen overnight. “Building reinforcement, road greening, lighting, and beautification, as well as the functional design of the Pearl River Delta Sericulture Science Museum, etc., have all cost us a lot of effort.” Liu Yinghong told reporters that the company’s bold investment in renovation is inseparable from the full efforts of local government departments. support.
“In 2021, we will enjoy the exemption from corporate income tax on general dividends and other equity investment income, and our tax-free income will reach 4.69 million yuan, allowing us to have more sufficient funds to continue investing in transformation and better inherit the ‘silk culture’.” Liu Yinghong said.
From silkworm to cocoon, spinning silk into raw yarn, the birth of a piece of Xiangyun yarn has just begun. It is reported that the transformation of the snow-white gray yarn into the brown-yellow Xiangyun yarn requires “three washings, nine boils and eighteen suns”, which takes at least a year. In the Xintiancheng Xiangyunsha Ecological Industry and Cultural Park, 3 kilometers away from the Lunjiao Silkworm Breeding Farm, you can see the original production process of Xiangyunsha.
“My father and uncle all hope that Xiangyunsha can be passed down better, which is also the original intention of establishing the ecological park.” Person in charge of Guangdong Xintiancheng Xiangyunsha Ecological Culture Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Xintiancheng”) Lao Zhicheng said.
Shunde Lunjiao is the source of Xiangyun yarn, but for many years the development of Xiangyun yarn industry has been faced with difficulties such as the lack of well-known trademarks and the lack of agglomeration effects. In order to comprehensively promote the protection of intangible cultural heritage of Xiangyun yarn and the development of cultural industry, the local government issued the “Three-year Action Plan for the HighQuality Development of Lunjiao Xiangyun yarn Industry”. The Foshan tax department conducted visits and surveys along the Xiangyun yarn industry chain to understand the progress of the company’s key projects. Based on the development characteristics of the Xiangyun yarn industry, it carried out precise analysis based on tax big data application results such as “Smart Tax Brain” and screened out taxes that suit the enterprise. preferential policies.
“The delivery of preferential policies has strengthened our confidence in becoming stronger and bigger.” Lao Zhicheng said that recently a new combined tax support policy has been introduced, and enterprises can also enjoy the new policy of exempting small-scale taxpayers from value-added tax .
Separated by a wall, Foshan Shunde District Tianyi Acanthus Silk Ecological Culture Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Tianyi Acanthus Garden”) has a close cooperative relationship with Xintiancheng. Not only is there a national intangible cultural heritage Shunde acanthus silk protection base, but you can also explore the smiling curve of the development of the Xiangyun yarn fabric industry in the “fashion show”.
“Designers are designing clothing based on the innovation of Xiangyun yarn. Currently, our silk clothing has been sold to Paris, London, Singapore and other places. As our business continues to expand, we urgently need to know more support policies.” God’s will Zhang Bo, the person in charge of the garden, said.
