Do you have any facts about ancient Chinese silk?
The silk industry originated in China. Empress Si-Ling, wife of a famous emperor Huang-Ti (2640 BC), encouraged the cultivation of the mulberry tree, the rearing of the worms, and the reeling of the silk. Empress Si-Ling is credited by the Chinese with the invention of the weaving loom on which the silk was woven into fabric. Silk was highly valued in Asia Minor and the trade road to China became known as the Silk Road. Literally, silk became worth its weight in gold.
Silk production began in Asia Minor about the beginning of the Christian period. Two Persian monks, who had long resided in China, learned the whole art of silk worm rearing and brought their knowledge to the Emperor. About the year 550 AD, the monks brought silk worm eggs from China concealed in a bamboo tube. From the contents of this tube were produced all the races and varieties of silk worm that supplied the western world for more than 1,200 years. Early in the sixth century AD, Byzantine Emperor Justinian totally controlled the trade and manufacture of silk within his empire. Looms worked by women were set up in the Imperial Palace in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul).
