Is the silk quilt of that silk factory in Jinggangshan fake?

Silk is not cheap. To make a quilt, silk has to go through many processes, such as breeding, sericulture, cocoon picking, drying, cocoon peeling (by hand and machine), dehydration, sorting, drying, inspection, cotton pulling and quilt making. 1 Jin silk =5 Jin dried cocoon = 1750 cocoons. In other words, it takes more than 7000 silkworms to make a 4 kg silk quilt. So silk is not very cheap. Those cheap silk quilts on the Internet are either fake or contain only a small amount of silk. Silk quilts used to be expensive. Although we can't say that we must have much money to use silk quilts now, it is unrealistic to spend tens or hundreds of dollars to buy a real silk quilt.

There are two common methods to identify silk quilts:

The first type: 84 disinfectant.

Silk is pure natural protein, which will melt slowly when it comes into contact with alkaline liquid. Chemical fiber and kapok cannot be melted with 84 disinfectant.

The second type: combustion.

Burning silk gives off the smell of burnt hair; When the fire source is removed, the fire will automatically go out, which is the flame retardancy of silk; Look at the ash again and twist it a little hard. It is silk that can be twisted into powder. Burning chemical fiber gives off the smell of burning plastic. When the ash is cool, it can't be broken by hard twisting. Burning kapok gives off the smell of burning paper; Apart from the fire source, kapok was quickly burned out in a fire. Nowadays, it is the most common identification method to mix silk with chemical fiber or kapok in the market.
