"A silkworm spins all its silk till its death and a candle won't stop its tears until it is fully burnt." This Tang poem accurately describes the property of the silkworm. Despite technological development, a silkworm can only produce a certain amount of silk---1000 meters (3280feet) in its lifespan of 28 days.

Several thousand years ago, when the silk trade first reached Europe via theSilk Road, it brought with it not only gorgeous silk apparel and decorative items, but also the ancient and resplendent culture of the Far East. From then on, silk was regarded as the emissary and symbol of Eastern civilization.

This is a really great website for anyone doing the Silk Road. It provides excellent detail about what was traded along the Silk Road and the problems the merchants faced while travelling along it. The website also explains that the Silk Road was much more than a trading route. Finally, the website explores how the Silk Road was developed and how the trade along it declined

Silk was discovered around 30 BC in Ancient China. They made it from silkworm cocoons by unwinding them and then weaving them into clothes. They usually made the traditional robe that was popular for daily wear at that time, and the robe is now more commonly ceremonial dress attire.

Buddha from Western China, ca. 450 AD Buddhism first came to China from India around 500 AD, spreading through Central Asia along the Silk Road. A Buddhist artist carved this wooden Buddha in Western China, on the Silk Road, before Buddhism really reached central China.

This is a snap shot of what the website is like "The gunpowder used for military purpose was first recorded in 919 A.D. By the 11th century, explosive bombs filled with gunpowder and fired from catapults were introduced and used in China. The words "fire cannon", "rocket", "missile" and "fireball" appeared time and again in the official Song history as well as two other books written during the same period."

Kites may date back as far as 3000 years, where they were made from bamboo and silk in China. Exactly how or when a kite was first flown is a mystery, but one legend suggests that when a Chinese farmer tied a string to his hat to keep it from blowing away in a strong wind, the first kite was born.

Many people have looked at beautifully decorated silk shoes from China and wondered if they were for a child or a doll. They are surprised to find that these pairs of shoes, some of which are only a little over three inches in length were actually meant to be worn by grown women.
