№.17 Feeding Silkworms and Sorting the Cocoons 養蠶篩繭

The process of “Sifting Cocoons” involves separating silkworm pupae from their cocoons using a sieve or other tools. This is typically done to extract silk threads from the cocoons for the production of silk fabrics. During this process, the cocoons are soaked and heated, and then sieved through a mesh or other device to separate the pupae from the silk threads.
