Task 1. Read the text about production of silk and complete the task.
The story of silk
Silk is a fine, smooth material produced from the cocoons - soft protective shells - that are
made by mulberry silkworms (insect larvae). Legend has it that it was Lei Tzu, wife of the Yellow
Emperor, ruler of China in about 3000 BC, who discovered silkworms. One account of the story
goes that as she was taking a walk in her husband’s gardens, she discovered that silkworms were
responsible for the destruction of several mulberry trees. She collected a number of cocoons and sat
down to have a rest. It just so happened that while she was sipping some tea, one of the cocoons that
she had collected landed in the hot tea and started to unravel into a fine thread. Lei Tzu found that
she could wind this thread around her fingers. Subsequently, she persuaded her husband to allow
her to rear silkworms on a grove of mulberry trees. She also devised a special reel to draw the fibres
from the cocoon into a single thread so that they would be strong enough to be woven into fabric.
While it is unknown just how much of this is true, it is certainly known that silk cultivation has
existed in China for several millennia.
Originally, silkworm farming was solely restricted to women, and it was they who were
responsible for the growing, harvesting and weaving. Silk quickly grew into a symbol of status, and
originally, only royalty were entitled to have clothes made of silk. The rules were gradually relaxed
over the years until finally during the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911 AD), even peasants, the lowest
caste, were also entitled to wear silk. Sometime during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), silk was
so prized that it was also used as a unit of currency. Government officials were paid their salary in
silk, and farmers paid their taxes in grain and silk. Silk was also used as diplomatic gifts by the
emperor. Fishing lines, bowstrings, musical instruments and paper were all made using silk. The
earliest indication of silk paper being used was discovered in the tomb of a noble who is estimated
to have died around 168 AD
