What are the specific manifestations of the influence of silk on China's traditional culture?

China is the hometown of silk, which is one of the important features of Chinese civilization. Silk has much to do with China's etiquette system, culture and art, local customs, science and technology. The emperor used silk to show authority, and officials used silk to mark grades; Scholars write poems to praise silk, and painters splash ink on silk made of silk; The common people offered sacrifices to various silkworm gods and prayed for high yield of silk, while the imperial court issued decrees to persuade sericulture, so as to evaluate the achievements of local officials. How short is the life span of silkworms from eggs to moths; From mulberry planting to ready-made clothes, the industrial chain of silk is so long. As if in the dark, the floating of silk inspired the invention of paper, and the printing of silk contributed to the birth of printing. It can be said that without silk, even if Chinese civilization is still great, it will reduce many colorful colors.

The poetic name "Silk Road" first appeared in the book China published by German geographer Richthofen in 1887. In a long historical period, the Silk Road was a bridge between China people and people in Central Asia, West Asia, Europe and Africa, which made the four ancient civilizations of China, India, Greece and Rome get greater development in the process of mutual communication.

This is the world-famous Northern Silk Road. This is also the longest and oldest Silk Road, which traverses Asia and reaches the ancient traffic arteries along the Mediterranean coast of Europe. It is famous for transporting silk from China. It starts from ancient Chang 'an in the east and reaches Constantinople in the west, with a total length of 15000 kilometers and a history of more than 2000 years. It is the main road of commodity and cultural exchange between the East and the West in ancient times. Silk was invented by China and a symbol of China culture. The Silk Road has promoted economic prosperity, cultural exchanges and friendly exchanges between China and the people of Europe, Asia and Africa.
