Chinese silk
Description:
As you know, China is the birthplace of silk. For thousands of years, the Chinese kept the secret of silk production. It has been one of the most closely guarded secrets in human history.
Silk garments were worn exclusively by representatives of the imperial court and nobility, and silk products became one of the signs of wealth. In addition, ordinary people were forbidden to wear silk products. As trade and travel increased, silk farming gradually began to emerge outside of China.
Silk is a product derived from the protein fibers of the silkworm cocoon. The production of silk is a long process that requires careful control. Quality silk products should be soft and shiny. Their color should be clear and uniform.
Silk beddings are symbols of high status in China, so they are often given as wedding gifts.
During most tours, tourists will visit the silk factory. After inspecting the factory units and observing the silk production process, tourists are usually led to the showroom where they can see various silk products, such as garments, bedding, etc., which can be purchased immediately.
