The Chinese kept the process of silk-making a closely guarded secret to maintain their monopoly on this valuable commodity, which was highly sought after in trade, especially along the Silk Road. By concealing the methods of sericulture and silk weaving, they ensured economic prosperity and cultural prestige. Additionally, revealing the secret could have diminished their control over trade routes and allowed other nations to produce silk, undermining China's unique status as the primary supplier.
