The Story of Silk Relics
Silk played an important role on the Silk Road, and there were many stories related to it. It was said that silk was brought to the West by Duke Mu of Zhou during the Western Zhou Dynasty. As the first China head of state to visit a western country, Duke Mu of Zhou led his entourage to the west with a large number of gold, silver, jade, silk, and artifacts. They arrived in Central Asia and even went to the Kingdom of the Mother of the West and gave silk as a national gift. Although this statement had the color of legends and myths, it also reflected the possible connection between the Yellow River basin and the upper reaches of the Syr Darya River in Central Asia during the Western Zhou Dynasty, and China silk might have been introduced into Central Asia. In the West, silk had been popular ever since it was introduced into ancient Rome. During the Augustus era of the Roman Empire, western classical literature began to have more detailed records of China silk. China silk was colorful and became the most popular luxury item in the upper class of Rome at that time. It was expensive. Rome paid up to 100,000 ounces of gold for imported silk every year. Even Caesar the Great wore silk clothes to attend the palace banquet and was opposed by the ministers, but the Roman people were still unwilling to take off their silk clothes. The large influx of silk also caused the Roman Empire's trade deficit to expand and gold to flow out. The Roman Empire even made a decree to prohibit people from wearing silk. In the course of history, silk had always been a symbol of China's prosperity and civilization. Through the trade and export of the Silk Road, Chinese civilization had flourished unprecedentedly. Moreover, for a long time, Westerners regarded silk as a " hard currency " like gold. Read more exciting novels for free

Among them, the fine silk found under the jade clothes might be "Bingwan", and the fragment of double-silk plain fabric was found in the left trouser tube of the jade clothes. Silk remnants about 5500 years ago were unearthed in the urn coffin burial of Qingtai site in Xingyang, Henan Province. Recently, the scientific research team identified the carbonized fabric extracted from the urn coffin of Wanggou site in Xingyang and confirmed that it was of the same kind and period as the fabric unearthed from Qingtai site.
