Silk was invented by Xi-lung-shi in the year 3000BC.As legend says Xi-lung-shi was the 14 year old bride of the Chinese empror known as the Yellow empror.As the Mulbery bushes in her garden were getting damaged .She decided to investigate to the cause of the bushes getting damaged.When she had a close look at the trees,she discovered that worms were eating up the leaves and by chance a cocoon fell into her cup of hot tea.When she was removing the cocoon she noticed thin strands of fibre coming out (which we now call silk)from the cocoon.Silk was kept as a secret in china till 330AD.
