# Before embroidery, there was silk. legend has it that since the Huangdi era (26th Century B.C.), empress Leizu had started domesticating wild silkworms and using their filament to weave satin and silk. In ancient scrolls depicting tilling and weaving scenes, the whole process of sericulture of Chinese faumers is recorded in detail-from the raising of silkworm to the reeling of silk filament to the weaving of silk fabrics.
# Thousands of years have passed since the appearance of silk. Despite the advancement of science and technology, silk still has to be produced inch, by carefully coddled little caterpillars. The splendor of high-tech is outshone by a caterpillar that extrudes silk. Silk is the last song of a caterpillar and the extension to its life.
# A Silkworm's life spans only 25-28 days. A single worm can extrude a continuous filament a mile long. The work of thousands of worms are needed to produce the silk for one shirt, dress or quilt cover.
# Silk is a miracle created by silkworms. When a worm gorges, grows, molts, anchors, ejects silk and spins a cocoon, nothing dares disturb them. People coddle and cosset them as fragile creatures. Every tender, loving though is needed to avoid upsetting them and interfering with their wonders.
# Silk is both a luxury and mystery. Loving silk means tenderness, tradition, and a song of nature. Silk is as light as air, tender as waterflow over one's body,---soft as a whisper. The pleasure is beyond the description of words.
