《天工开物·上篇·乃服》
还有一种蕉纱，是福建地区人用芭蕉皮破析后纺成的，非常轻盈纤弱，价值低微而丝缕质地稀薄，不能用来做衣服。
又有蕉纱，乃闽中取芭蕉皮析缉为之，轻细之甚，值贱而质枵，不可为衣也。
There is also a certain type of gauze, spun from the torn skin of banana tree in the Fujian area. It is very light and weak, has low value, and its silk texture is thin, so it cannot be used to make clothes.
