It's well-known that silk was discovered in China. It's wonderfully strong, light and soft. As one of the best materials for clothes, silk has a perfect look and feel that no other materials can match.
There is a story about how silk was discovered. Lei Zu, the wife of Huang Di, was having tea under a mulberry tree when a silkworm cocoon(蚕茧)fell into her cup. As she tried to take the cocoon out, it started to unwind(展开)and the "line" seemed endless. She realized that the strong line could be used to make clothes. Then Lei Zu taught her people how to raise silkworms and how to get silk In this way, the silk industry was born.
For hundreds of years after that, silk was only used by rich people. It was a symbol of identity and status(身份和地位). With the development of the silk industry, more silk was produced. It was no longer just for rich people. In the Han Dynasty, silk was transported as far away as Spain, Rome and many other counties. The trade road was famously known as the Silk Road, which connected China with the rest of the world
Today, silk can be used for many kinds of things, not just for clothes, bus also for paintings, writing brushes, kites and even fishing nets. Wherever silk goes around the world, it is always warmly received.
