Silk had played central role in doing many of the trade between China and the ancient world. Due to high demand for silk had a staple for most international trade. Traces of the trade was associated with silk have been found to walk back in history, from as far as 3000 years BC. Although there is evidence that silk had been made in China 1000 years earlier. A proof that age is evidenced by the silk trade is the piece of silk cloth, found in 1070 BC by aEgyptian mummy.
Lady Hsi-Ling-Shih is the goddess of silk for the first time she sponsored the cultivation of silkworms. She was also credited to have introduced the loom. However, it is doubtful whether they also legend or not. Later in this period, mulberry trees were grown as food for silkworms.
For over two thousand years the knowledge was kept secret on the cultivation of silkworms and the manufacture of the fibers in China. This is done to keep the monopoly of the silkCloth. In these years, exports are live silkworms considered a capital crime, to protect the secrets of fine silk cloth. However, in 200 BC, was the art of silk culture in Korea transported by Chinese immigrants. And later, at 1oo years, the art spread through Asia. Silkworms were eventually smuggled into Greece from Asia, the Middle East, India and North Africa. The name of commerce between the region was the Silk Road.
Based on a folk tale, twoJustinian monks said to successfully smuggled silkworm cocoons in their employees. This incident revolutionized the silkworms, as this marks the spread of sericulture to Greece and adjacent regions. Southern Europe has adopted the silk culture, and in about 6 or 7 Century AD, sericulture industry has been practiced throughout Europe. Soon after, took the major regions in France, Portugal and Spain to trade.
Venetian merchants flourished lot of silk clothProduction and trade and even encouraged silk farmers, sericulture settle in Italy. The practice was so extensive that in the 13 Century Italy, the silk capital of the European world was.
Only in 1619 the production of silk has arrived in America, brought by James I of England. However, too little recognition was given to trade and the Shakers of Kentucky alone has the industry. But by the 1800s, European immigrants once the industry and consistently Paterson,New Jersey. Have remained the city of silk in the American capital still turns the glory of the Japanese silk considerably.
The World War II interrupted imports of Japanese silks. And drastically scaled down, that the merchants wanted a substitute for silk. This led them to the production of synthetic silk, lyocell fiber. The properties which are easily removed from the silk to the original.
Sericulture and sericulture is a very lengthy process and requiresconstant observation. The quality of silk produced would depend largely on the nutrition and the prevention of silkworm silk worms from hatching. Chinese silk producers both perfected.
Changes in time were not in a position to the secrets of silk production of China's knowledge alone is included. They were forced to the art world outside of like what happened when the first license fee allows the use of silk revealed by the bourgeois.
