The Han working people invented the techniques of raising silkworms, reeling silk, weaving silk and embroidery. The inventions in this area should be attributed to the women of the Han nationality. Legend has it that Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor and the daughter of Xiling clan, taught people to raise silkworms and process silk cocoons to make clothes. Spinning wheels used for spinning silk and hemp have been unearthed in the Yangshao culture sites dating back about 7,000 to 5,000 years. The spinning wheel was invented in the Han Dynasty. It was originally used for reeling silk and winding thread, and later for spinning cotton. It was introduced to Europe in the 13th century.

A French scholar who studies the Silk Road has verified that around 420 to 440 AD (during the Southern and Northern Dynasties in my country), a princess of a certain Han dynasty married into the Kingdom of Khotan in Xinjiang. The princess secretly wrapped some silkworm seeds in paper and then tucked them in her high bun. She cleverly avoided the inspection of the border guards and finally brought the silkworm seeds into Khotan.
