黎锦是海南纺织文化的重要代表,先秦时期海南岛先民就已经开始从事纺织生产。及至汉代,海南“广幅布”被当时的地方官员选中为重要的贡品,唐代作为贡品的同时可能已经参与到当时的对外贸易中。宋元时期是黎锦贸易的大发展时期,并对内陆的纺织贸易业产生影响。直到明清、民国时期,大量外国棉纺织品进入海南岛,重创了黎族地区的棉纺织业,黎锦贸易也逐步走向衰落。 Li Jin is an important representative of Hainan’s textile culture. Before the Qin Dynasty, Hainan’s ancestors had started to engage in textile production. As of the Han dynasty, Hainan was widely selected as a tribute by local officials at the time.
