In the era of the Yellow Emperor, with the continuous maturity of farming technology, rich food and stable life gave birth to many inventions. The Yellow Emperor sowed hundreds of grains of grass and trees, vigorously developed production, and founded boats and cars, music laws, and medicine, which can be said to be the beginning of Chinese civilization.

The Yellow Emperor's wife, Changzu, pioneered the method of planting mulberry silkworms and the art of reeling silk and weaving.

We have to tell this story from the time when the Yellow Emperor and Changzu met. One day, the Yellow Emperor took the minister out to pass through Xiling, and found that the people here were covered with a layer of things, which were softer and more comfortable than the animal skins and leaves he was wearing on his upper body, so the Yellow Emperor went forward to inquire:

Yellow Emperor: Girl, bother, dare to ask what the girl is wearing?

Xiling Girl: This, ah, is called silk silk dress!

Yellow Emperor: Silk silk clothes? What is this, please ask the girl to point out?

Xiling girl: Silk is a garment made of silk and then woven with silk!

Yellow Emperor: Silk weaving?!

Xiling Girl: Yes! Don't be surprised! We have a Xiling clan in Hedongxiyin Village, whose female name is Feng! Last year, we heard that Feng had made silk out of silk, and it spread that everyone went to her house to change silk!

Hearing this, the Yellow Emperor was very curious about this woman who raised silkworms and made clothes, and wanted to know what kind of intelligent woman could make silk, so when he came to the door of the Feng family, he saw that the courtyard was crowded with people who came to exchange silk for silk, some holding salt, some holding silk, and many people were around a woman learning silk reeling, which was very lively.

Yellow Emperor: Girl, dare you ask the girl to honor her surname and name?

Concubine Zu: The little girl's surname is Xiling Mingfeng, I don't know what noble work the strong man has come to the cold house?

Yellow Emperor: I am a bear man with the surname Ofe Sun Xuanyuan. Passing through the treasure land, I heard that the girl is good at making silk, special visit, I don't know, the girl.... Can you tell us how this silk is done?

Concubine: There is no difficulty in making this silk, as soon as the day is warm, the silkworms on the mulberry tree begin to spit silk into cocoons. I saw that silk was both tough and lightweight, and I learned to tie the web of spiders and weave silk into clothes for my parents to wear. Silk woven clothes are cool in summer and warm in winter, and are very comfortable to wear. Neighbors love this silk very much, so I am telling everyone about this method of reeling silk!

Yellow Emperor: The girl is intelligent, generous and kind, and admires under the circumstances! It is no secret that I have xuanyuan, the leader of the bear country, and the people of my tribe are still wearing bark and animal skins, and I am very sad and remorseful, so I implore the girl to pass on this silk reeling spell to my people, and I will be grateful and grateful!

Changzu listened to the Words of the Yellow Emperor and was also touched by his sincerity! He followed the Yellow Emperor to the Bear Kingdom and taught everyone to reel and weave. As the days went on, the two people who admired each other fell in love with each other. After marrying into the bear country, Changzu often waded through the mountains and rivers, went deep into the folk to teach the silkworm techniques of planting mulberry and the art of silk weaving, and taught these to the people of various tribes without reservation, and everyone no longer had to wear bark and animal skins, but wore beautiful and light silk, which was deeply admired by the people.

Since then, under the initiative of Changzu, the Chinese nation has begun the history of planting mulberry, raising silkworms and weaving silk. Changzu is an outstanding representative of our ancestors' women, Chang Shou advocated marriage, motherhood in the world, well-being of all the people, and the Second Emperor of Yanhuang opened up the vast land, bid farewell to the wilderness, meritorious sun and moon, virtue by Huaxia, and was worshipped by posterity as the "First Silkworm" Virgin.

Tomorrow, please continue to listen to the third episode of "The Little Story of the Yellow Emperor": The Great War of Xuan you, the unification of China
