Is Xinjiang cotton better or Shandong cotton better?

First: the fiber is relatively long and has good warmth retention. This is mainly because the weather in Xinjiang is relatively flat and the sunshine time is long. The photosynthesis of crops is very strong. Second, the cotton planting time in Xinjiang is early and the cotton planting technology is mature. Xinjiang is one of the earliest cotton growing areas in China. In ancient China, cotton was called white velvet, woven shellfish or red shellfish. Today, Uighurs in Xinjiang call cotton Paheta. Some historians believe that Bai Die and Pachta have similar pronunciations and seem to be the same word. From the etymology, we can also see the traces of cotton introduced into the mainland from Xinjiang. The history of cotton planting in Xinjiang is generally considered to be not less than 2000 years. According to unearthed cultural relics and ancient books, from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, cotton was planted in all parts of Tarim Basin and Turpan, and cotton textile handicrafts were established. For example, in the tombs of the Eastern Han Dynasty unearthed in Minfeng County, there are batiks, white pants, handkerchiefs and other cotton fabrics. In the ancient tombs of Turpan in Jin and Tang Dynasties, cotton textiles were common. Liang Shu? "Biography of the Northwest Jungle" said: Gao Changguo is rich in vegetation, the grass is as hard as a cocoon, and the silk in the cocoon is as thin as a thread, so it is called a white pile. Many people in China regard weaving as cloth, which is soft and white and not suitable for the market. Third: Xinjiang is suitable for growing cotton. There are natural environmental conditions that are most suitable for cotton planting, such as abundant heat, abundant sunshine, scarce precipitation, dry air, large temperature difference between day and night and artificial irrigation with snow water in Xinjiang, which provide incomparable good conditions for cotton growth in other cotton areas in China. Therefore, planting cotton in Xinjiang has great advantages, with fewer kinds of pests and diseases, less harm, especially without the harm of red bollworm and less rotten bolls, which reduces the labor and cost of pest control and production costs. In addition, Xinjiang's cotton has good tidbits, white wadding color and high grade, and the first-and second-class flowers are above 80% all the year round, which has won unanimous praise at home and abroad. Experts believe that Xinjiang cotton has good spinnability and white color, which can be compared with California cotton. Xinjiang not only widely grows upland cotton, but also grows long-staple cotton. It is the only long-staple cotton production base in China. Xinjiang cotton is mainly transferred to Shanghai, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Liaoning, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Henan, Gansu, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Jilin, Beijing, Shandong, Ningxia and other provinces and cities 19. 1982 Xinjiang long-staple cotton began to be exported to Romania. 1983 upland cotton and long-staple cotton all entered the international market and were mainly sold to Romania, Japan, the Soviet Union, the Czech Republic, Yugoslavia and other countries. So as long as the cotton in Xinjiang is absolutely good, I never lie that I am from Urumqi, Xinjiang.
