Hsi Ling Shi was the wife of the Yellow Emperor but she was also the inventor of the silk. The discovery of silk happened by accident it is said that she "accidentally dropped a cocoon on the silk moth into a hot cup of tea and discovered that the pupa unfurled into fine thread several hundred yards long. She discovered this thread to be shiny and strong and suitable for weaving." China was able to keep the secret of the silk for a few centuries before others got hold of it. The Silk roads were know to be routes where silk was transferred from the orient.Silk today is still viewed as a luxury product it is used to make silk bedding, shirts,dresses, kimono, lingerie, pillow cases, luxurious house furnishing material and much more.
