84、 China is the birthplace of silk. Raising silkworms for silk production has a history of over 6,000 years. Legend has it that the wife of the Yellow Emperor was having tea under a tree when a silkworm fell into her cup. As she watched, the silkworm spun a strong white thread. She unwound the string
85、onto her finger, realizing that it could be used as weaving thread. Thus, an industry was born. She taught her people to raise silkworms, and later invented the loom. During the Shang Dynasty, silk production already reached a high level in China. And for more than 2,000 years, Chinese kept the secr
86、et of silk to themselves. It was one of the most guarded secrets in history. Anyone found guilty of stealing silkworm eggs was put to death. Silk clothes were worn by emperors and rich people, which was a symbol of wealth. Common people were prohibited from wearing silk.With travel and trading, the
87、production of raw silk by raising silkworms slowly reached the outside world from China to Europe.Nowadays, most of the silk is produced in the south of the Yangtze River Delta, such as in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shaoxing, and most importantly, everyone has the right to wear silk clothes as long as they like.
