The Chinese developed the skill of silk production from silkworm cocoons found in mulberry trees. By cultivating silkworms, they learned to harvest and weave silk fibers into luxurious fabrics, which became a highly sought-after commodity. This technique not only advanced their textile industry but also initiated the Silk Road trade, connecting China with various cultures and economies. Silk production remains a significant cultural and economic aspect of China to this day.
