Among the traditional silk fabrics in Zhejiang, Li Ji's lake silk is called the best silk.

Traditional China silk is centered on Zhejiang Province. For hundreds of years, the silk produced in Zhejiang Province has been a leader in the silk industry. Among the traditional silk fabrics in Zhejiang, one kind of silk is known as "the best silk", and that is Hu Zili silk. Geely Lake Silk, also called Li Ji Silk, is a kind of silk with excellent quality.

According to historical records, Gillis was well-known during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty and Wanli in Ming Dynasty. In modern Nanxun, there were nearly 100 silk merchants called "Four Elephants, Eight Cattle and Seventy Golden Dogs", all of whom made a fortune. At present, the archives of Nanxun Tourism Company still holds the only unsold two-volume edition of Husi series 60 years ago, and the texture is still as bright as ever.

Li Ji Lake Silk originated from Qili Silk. Silk originated in Qili, Nanxun, Huzhou City, northern Zhejiang Province (now Hengjie Township, Nanxun District, Huzhou City), so it was called Qili Village, hence the name Qili Temple. When the village was built at the end of Yuan Dynasty, the earthen silk made of wood silk was closely connected with Li Ji Lake silk.

Documentary records of Li Ji Husi:

In the second year of Sui Renshou (602), Huzhou was established, named after the coastal Taihu Lake, to govern Wucheng. This is the origin of Huzhou title. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were other appellations such as Anji Si, Wu Kangmian and Hu Bo. This is the predecessor of the silk collection. The name of "Hu Si Hu Si" is well documented, which began in the Southern Song Dynasty when Jiatai Hu Si spread all over the world and was called Huzhou. By the time of Kangxi, the local area had changed the lake silk into a silk collection. To this day, Huzhou Museum still retains silk samples from the 1960s. This is the pride of Huzhou people.

In the middle of Ming Dynasty, it became famous in China. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Guozhen and Wen Renren, two prime ministers of Nanxun, recommended Qili Temple in their hometown to the emperor of this dynasty. It was not until Emperor Kangxi felt that Qilisi was a bit rustic that he suggested using the word weaving, which means weaving silk (silk specially woven for the emperor). Zhu Guozhen, the official of Nanxun Pavilion and the current official department, said in the essay Chong Zhuang written in the second year of the Apocalypse (A.D. 162 1): "Husi.

By the end of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1578~ 1620), Qilisi, which was bought by Qilicun people, had gradually become famous in the domestic market. Dajia was sold here and traded in Jiangnan and Sichuan-Guangzhou areas. The unique reeling technology of Jili Lake silk was gradually extended to Hangjiahu and Suzhou, which improved the quality of raw silk and formed eight characteristics of "fine, round, uniform, firm, white, clean, soft and tough". And the collection of tribute silk was the largest at that time.
