Abstract

The Qi-qi cotton textile machine of 1977 is a handmade textile machine which was vigorously promoted by the government in the 1930s in China. Its name comes from the Chinese homonym of the July 7th Incident. This paper discusses the reasons and process of popularization of the Qi-qi cotton textile machine by the Agricultural Production Committee under the special background of the Anti-Japanese War. Through the deep analysis of historical data, this paper summarizes the Popularization Background and reasons of the machine. It is believed that the Qi-qi cotton textile machine increased the domestic cotton yarn output, largely met the cotton yarn demand in the southwest and northwest of China at that time, increased the income of the residents in the popularization area, and filled the cotton textile demand in the period of the Anti-Japanese.

Highlights

  • The Qi-qi cotton textile machine of 1977 is a handmade textile machine which was vigorously promoted by the government in the 1930s in China

Advantages of Developing Cotton Textile Handicraft Industry

In view of the current situation, the implementation of cotton textile handicraft industry has the following advantages compared with the construction of small-scale yarn mills: First, cotton textile handicraft industry is more suitable for promotion in areas with abundant cotton output and abundant labor force. The requirements for organization and management of cotton textile handicraft industry are lower than those of large cotton textile mills. In the establishment of cooperative organizations, the implementation of cotton textile handicraft industry is more convenient than the development of small-scale cotton yarn mills. Because Mu Lou was a member of the Agricultural Extension Committee at the beginning, the promotion of cotton textile handicraft industry is smaller than that of large-scale yarn mills. Most of the organs with which they cooperate are local cooperative Treasuries and cooperatives, which ensure the adequacy of funds These are the advantages of developing cotton textile handicraft industry in the special period of the Anti-Japanese War over Establishing small-scale yarn mills
