Looking at the clothing culture of the East and West, we can see that the two concepts are different. In ancient China, the concept of "unity of man and nature" was emphasized, so there was a distinctive personality dress with elegant sleeves and wide robe gowns. Looking back at Western costumes, they pay more attention to the value of human existence. Clothing tops emphasize narrow and thin, and tend to be humanized to highlight the beauty of human body shape.

Because of the long distance and difficult transportation, the price of silk is usually very expensive. Western regions and some Western European countries want Silk raw materials - silkworms and mulberry trees. At that time, the government of the Han Dynasty banned silkworms and mulberry trees from spreading to the West. For example, "the troubles of King Charles" spread around the silk road.

The story took place in the eastern empire of the Mediterranean coast, when the Empire was fighting with the Persians. In the eastern empire, there are two cities which are important silk centers for processing. China Silk (this is an important income of the East Empire). But the purchase of silk from Persian traders made the king of the East empire king of the kingdom of Spain feel a great headache. One day, two monks went into the palace and suggested to the king: "to prevent the Persian businessmen from making use of Chinese silk to make us difficult, we can bring our silkworm and mulberry seedlings to our country and make our own silk." So the king sent them to China and Zhejiang to learn sericulture and silk reeling, and learned brocade. When they got silkworm eggs and mulberry seeds, they bought a boatman and secretly mixed up layers of checkpoints. In the year 552 (the end of the Liang Dynasty in the southern and Northern Dynasties), China's Silkworm reeling technology was introduced into the eastern empire.
