Leaders, directors, editorial board members, and colleagues:

Today we are all gathered together to solemnly convene the first-term board of directors and the fourth-term editorial board of "Jiangsu Silk" magazine. This is a major event of "Jiangsu Silk" magazine, and it is also a happy event for the magazine!

"Jiangsu Silk" has gone through an extraordinary road

my country's national economy began to improve in 1956, and the silk industry in our province is also developing very well. In order to adapt to the progress and innovation of silk industry technology, the Suzhou Silk Products Research Institute was established in Suzhou. At that time, in order to facilitate the exchange of information and accumulation of data by scientific and technical personnel in brotherly regions and units, the Information Office of Suzhou Silk Products Research Institute organized the collection and sorting of silk enterprises in Suzhou, Wuxian, Wujiang, Wuxi, Danyang and other places. Process and technical materials are compiled into a mimeograph booklet named "Jiangsu Silk Technology Information", which is distributed from time to time, about 50 copies per issue, mainly distributed to relevant leaders and larger silk enterprises (such as: Suzhou Zhenya, Soochow, Guangming, Xinsu factories), this booklet has a great publicity and promotion effect on the development of Jiangsu silk industry in the past ten years, and has been recognized and welcomed by the majority of silk industry technicians and employees. Regrettably, the operation was suspended in 1966 due to the outbreak of the "Cultural Revolution".

With the difficult recovery of the silk production situation in 1969, the province's silk industry and its staff thought of the once rare "Jiangsu Silk Technology Materials", so this booklet also made a difficult comeback in response to the requirements of the industry. Since then, silk foreign trade orders have increased rapidly, and the development of the silk industry has accelerated. This mimeographed brochure has been unable to meet the needs of readers in the silk industry. For this reason, under the attention of the Provincial Department of Light Industry at that time, in 1972, "Jiangsu Silk Science and Technology Information" was changed to "Jiangsu Silk" publication for printing and publishing, one quarterly, edited and published by the Information and Reference Office of Suzhou Institute of Silk Science.

After more than ten years of hard work, the Jiangsu Silk Corporation was established in September 1984, and the "Jiangsu Silk" magazine was transferred to the Provincial Silk Corporation. After 1985, my country's reform and opening up, the market economy further deepened, and the development of the silk industry accelerated. In order to adapt to the new situation and new requirements, the publication, distribution and management of "Jiangsu Silk" was in charge of the Provincial Science and Technology Commission in 1985, and "Jiangsu Silk" was changed from a quarterly to a bimonthly. At the same time, after active efforts to apply and reconsider, the Department of Science and Technology (Committee) of Jiangsu Province formally issued a document on October 29, 1987, and approved the "Jiangsu Silk" magazine as a national regular publication based on the Sukotiao (87) 304 document.

Its domestic and international publication number is ISSN1003–9910 CN32–1261/TS.

With the reform of my country's publishing periodical system, "Jiangsu Silk" in 1989 was managed by the Provincial Silk Corporation, and sponsored by the Provincial Silk Corporation, the Provincial Silk Association, and the Suzhou Silk Research Institute. The location of the publication is still in Suzhou, and its editing and publishing is specifically in charge of the scientific and technological information station of the Suzhou Silk Research Institute (later renamed the Jiangsu Silk Science Research Institute, referred to as the "Provincial Silk Research Institute").

In order to further improve the status and role of the "Jiangsu Silk" magazine, under the care of the Provincial Silk Corporation and the Provincial Silk Association, and on the basis of full deliberation and discussion, it was established in Suzhou in August 1990. The first edition review committee of "Jiangsu Silk" magazine organized by celebrities, academic authorities and leaders enthusiastic about the silk industry in the silk industry. The "Jiangsu Silk" magazine has truly entered the track of formal editing, publishing and distribution.

With the care and support of leaders and experts at all levels and the efforts of the editors, "Jiangsu Silk" magazine has gradually become a comprehensive magazine focusing on the science and technology of the silk industry in the province, taking into account production, management, and trade information. It is very popular and liked by science and technology workers, managers, teachers and students in the silk industry. The source of the manuscripts is not limited to the province, including Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Sichuan, Anhui and other places. Magazines keep pace with each other and become the leader of domestic silk magazines, achieving very good social, technological, and economic effects.

After the late 1990s, with the vigorous development of the country’s economic construction and the adjustment of the industrial structure, the national silk industry was fully liberalized. The country implemented the strategy of “moving the mulberry from the east to the west”. The traditional silk industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has gradually declined and shrunk. Silk companies in various places were basically cancelled, merged, and transferred. The last positions of silk companies in Suzhou and Wujiang in the traditional silk advantage areas were also lost. The silk industry in the province was fully transformed, and a new production pattern and new production situation were being formed. The silk industry in Suzhou has also been deepened step by step with the adjustment and reform of the industry. In 2004, the Provincial Silk Research Institute began to face reform and restructuring, and had no time to take care of the magazines. The "Jiangsu Silk" magazine was managed by the Suzhou Silk Association. "Jiangsu Silk" magazine has entered a new difficult period or a new turning point.

In May 2009, due to various reasons, the Suzhou Silk Association submitted an application to the Jiangsu Silk Group and the Jiangsu Silk Association for various reasons, and requested that the "Jiangsu Silk" magazine be handed over to the Provincial Silk Association for editing and publishing. After careful consideration and careful understanding, the competent unit has discussed with the Suzhou Silk Association many times. At the end of 2009, it agreed to the application of the Suzhou Silk Association. The editorial department assisted in handling the transfer and other related work.

Beginning in 2010, the Provincial Silk Association took "Jiangsu Silk" magazine as an important annual work to implement it. First, go through the relevant change procedures. The State Administration of Press and Publication has a set of regulations and strict requirements for changing materials. We actively contacted the Jiangsu Press and Publication Bureau for advice, received strong support and help from the Provincial Press and Publication Bureau, and put forward good suggestions on the direction and content of future magazines. Finally, it was officially approved by the State Press and Publication Administration in November 2010. On November 26 of the same year, Suqi issued a certificate No. 1261 and received a new " Periodical Publication License", the national unified publication number CN32–1261/TS.

Secondly, we actively and methodically prepare the board of directors, adjust the editorial board and the editorial department. According to the status quo of the silk industry in the province, fully understand, screen, and prepare in advance, draw up a list of invited companies and personnel, and then basically make special visits based on the proposed companies and personnel, and sincerely talk about invitations, and obtain unanimous approval and support. On this basis, a board of directors was established with Jiangsu Silk Group as the chairman unit, 5 companies including Xinyuan Cocoon Silk Group as the standing director units, and 24 companies including Jiangsu Xinmin Textile Technology Co., Ltd. as the director units. This session of the council covers some famous silk enterprises in the province, including 2 enterprises, colleges and cultural institutions from other provinces; the adjustment and enrichment is made up of 17 people with Wang Jianning, vice president of Jiangsu Silk Association and Jiangsu Sericulture Association as the director. The new editorial committee includes experts, scholars and leaders of relevant government departments in the silk industry in the province; it has been fully adjusted to be edited by Chen Guoqiang, Dean of the School of Textile and Clothing Engineering of Soochow University, and the executive deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Silk Association. Luo Yongping is the executive editor of the editorial department. So far, the organization and personnel of "Jiangsu Silk" are basically in place.

At the same time, 2010 was the transition year for the Provincial Silk Association to take over the magazine. The editorial staff proposed by the Provincial Silk Association took the initiative to actively contact the original editorial staff, learn from them, and achieve relatively good results. The editing, revision and distribution of the magazine have laid a solid foundation.

At present, we can say that the first issue of 2011 was officially published by the adjusted editorial department.

As we can see from the above, "Jiangsu Silk" started from the mimeographed pamphlet of "Jiangsu Silk Science and Technology Information" in 1956, to the publication of "Jiangsu Silk" in 1972, and then to the official issue of 1987, until 2011. 55 years, if counting from 1972, there are 39 years so far. A total of 208 issues were published, with approximately 16.6 million words. These 55 and 39 years, these 208 issues and 16.6 million words, what a great data! She has gathered the minds of the magazine editors over the years. It also embodies the enthusiasm and hard work of the vast number of scientific and technical personnel and employees in the silk industry of the province.

"Jiangsu Silk" is a very resounding name. She used to be brilliant and difficult. At present, the province is undergoing economic transformation and upgrading and major changes in the industrial structure. Silk, a traditional industry, must also keep up with the pace of the times, accelerate industrial optimization and upgrading, take the road of technological innovation, and improve the level of technology and equipment, and will rely on independent innovation. , Technological transformation, brand strategy, integration of industrialization and industrialization, agglomeration development, merger and reorganization, energy saving and emission reduction, elimination of backwardness, etc. are the focus points. Under the new situation, "Jiangsu Silk" magazine will closely follow the pulse of industry development, make full use of the favorable platforms of print media, and make due contributions to the promotion and reporting of new experiences, new technologies, and new products in promoting the reform and innovation of the silk industry in the province. contribute.

We believe that with the strong support and help of the newly formed directors and editorial board members, "Jiangsu Silk" will surely achieve the nirvana of the phoenix and create greater glories.
