(Text/Chen Da) All those who are keen on martial arts cultural products know that the "Heavenly Silkworm Dress", the pinnacle of martial arts, is a treasure that does not invade water and fire, swords and guns do not enter, warm in winter and cool in summer, and cures all diseases, and martial arts masters dream of fighting with their lives.

<h1>The Son of Heaven and the Silkworm</h1>
Under the "packaging" of martial arts novels, the miracle effect of "Heavenly Silkworm Clothes" has been greatly rendered to an unprecedented degree, and the novelists have used exaggeration and imagination to prove the tenacity and preciousness of Heavenly Silk.
If you think about it carefully, if the "silkworm" that spits out the heavenly silk lacks a noble and prominent origin, and all sentient beings can easily obtain it, it is impossible to determine its precious scarcity and the priceless market that is easy to get a trace of gold.
The enthronement ceremony of the Son of Heaven
Years ago, I took notes on a short article. A: When the Tang Emperor ascended the throne, green silkworms suddenly descended from the sky, and hundreds of officials looked around, and after that, they were all called "Xiangrui". Clouds: The Emperor inherits the great unification, and the gods descend this object for everyone to see, which is actually "Zen (Zen polysynical character, with silkworm sounds) to let" the imperial power and the current Son of Heaven, the testimony of this divine right, Dajiya. Dilong Yanyue gave the green silkworm the title of "Heavenly Silkworm". The silkworms produced by the gods are all used by the royal family.
Re-reading this note, I can't help but be confused. The text is very interesting to describe the origin of "heavenly silkworm", but "Zen Rang" is falsely referred to as "silkworm rang", which is obviously far-fetched, and the original source of the article is unknown, and it is suspected that the present person made it up out of thin air.
<h1>Silkworms are not mysterious</h1>
What we call the silkworm is actually a natural wild silkworm that can suppress emerald green high-grade silk. Sky silk has strong refractive properties, refracts colorful points of light, and has the reputation of a green soft gemstone that has raced through gold.
In nature, the silkworm is one of the very rare species. The reason is that the silkworm has special requirements for the growth environment, resulting in few silkworm production sites in the world, ningguta old land in Ning'an City, Heilongjiang Province, Yingchengzi Forest Farm, Xiaobeihu Pabagou and other places, because of the special geographical environment, has become one of the three major silkworm breeding places in China.
Due to the continuous changes in the natural ecological environment, the species of wild silkworms in China have almost become extinct in recent years, and the technical difficulties of artificial stocking and protection of silkworms have not made breakthrough progress so far, highlighting that wild silkworm resources are particularly precious.
Silkworms
China's natural wild silk production accounts for the world's first, the international price of silk is also high, but now can only harvest a very small number of sky silk every year, Ningguta Old Land (Ning'an City, Heilongjiang Province) as the main production area of China's sky silk annual production of only 3 to 5 kg, compared with the wild sky silk exuberant market demand, the output is simply minimal, which also highlights the preciousness and scarcity of the sky silk from one side.
In martial arts novels, the "Heavenly Silkworm Dress" is a fictional object of the author, and the rare Heavenly Silk does not have those mysterious miracles. In fact, the sky silk is also a kind of natural silk, the natural color is green, rich in 20 kinds of amino acids, its flexibility is stronger than other silk species, the effect of blocking ultraviolet rays is several times higher than other fabrics, sweat absorption and moisture transmission and acid resistance are better than mulberry silk, close to the use can enhance the vitality of human skin, these advantages have been proved, in addition, it is also the most ideal artificial skin material for human beings, and the first choice for a variety of ultra-high-end clothing.
<h1>Silkworms are produced on the shores of Jingpo Lake</h1>
Jingpo Lake under the jurisdiction of Ning'an City is a world-famous alpine barrage lake, surrounded by good natural ecology, pure and pollution-free, wet woodland, abundant wild grass, loose geology, sunrise leeward, is the ideal breeding and production site for wild silkworms.
Every year in July and August, the natural environment to complete the mating of the silkworm moth lays eggs on the branches of the tulip tree, the flying silkworm moth, although there are not many eggs on each tulip tree, but the range of eggs is larger. Before the arrival of autumn, the ants in the silkworm eggs successfully hatched and fell into the grass under the trees with the wind and rain, covered by the dead leaves of the soil, and the larvae of the silkworm with stronger cold resistance crossed the harsh winter under the protection of the eggs.
Green Silkworm
In the spring of the following year, when the tulip tree grows tender green branches and leaves, the ant silkworms (that is, the first-year-old silkworms) in the silkworm eggs climb to the tulip tree to eat the tulip leaves, and then after 40-60 days of growth, they begin to cocoon, and then break the cocoon into pupae, and the silkworm moth begins another round of spawning and reproduction.
Wild silkworms are not easy to reproduce. Once the silkworm breeding area suffers from drought, the tree is prone to parasitic snails, and the young silkworms eat the leaves of the tulip tree with parasitic snail eggs, and they will die in large areas due to corrosion. If the silkworm breeding area lacks grass and mustard, or is airtight, the silkworm eggs are not covered by dead leaves, and the silkworm eggs will be frozen to death in winter.
In the early 1980s, forestry workers in Ning'an City found small silkworm cocoons of dark green, light green and ping-pong balls on the branches of the branches of the charcoal forest, which were identified by experts as silkworms. In 1981, the Xinhua News Agency's "Half Moon Talk" magazine published a photo of the Ning'an Silkworm.
<h1>Silkworms cannot be stocked artificially</h1>
In 1982 and 1983, Ning'an City won two consecutive years of harvest of silkworms, the leaves of the tulip trees in the sericulture area were eaten by silkworms, and the export price was sold for 30,000 US dollars / kg, so many farmers made "silkworm" money.
In the nearly 40 years since 1982, the reason why there has been no grand occurrence of silkworms in the old land of Ningguta, where the silkworms are produced in ning'an, heilongjiang province, is very puzzling.
Heavenly silk
For many years, sericulture researchers in Heilongjiang Province have insisted on conducting research experiments on artificial stocking of silkworms, and the natural mating problem of male and female silkworm moths in the artificial experimental environment has become a difficult problem that could not be overcome in the end, so that the precious silkworms could not be artificially stocked.
Because silkworms are very rare, the "big green bugs" are only four or five meters high on the tulip tree, it is difficult to find, it is not easy to obtain, it is not large-scale, and it is difficult for professional breeders to keep silkworms. For many reasons, silkworm farming can only rely on the sky to eat, and people have lost enthusiasm for its production.
The pitifully small number of wild silkworms has been well known. Nowadays, there are many high-grade tencel products and medical silkworm pieces that are popular on the market, whether they are real silkworm derivatives, you need to consider...
However, in the surrounding cities and counties of Mudanjiang (including Ning'an City), there are many "green silkworms" that have been artificially stocked, which is often referred to as "tulip silkworms". After the completion of spring ploughing, farmers put tulip silkworms up the mountain in early July, and completed the operation of raising silkworms after the autumn harvest.
However, the topic of stocking "tulip silkworms", let's talk about it later, it is too far from the topic.
