Only a short while ago,

Rome

For importation

silk

Pliny and philosopher Seneca all regard silk as a symbol of decline, and then depreciate it and despise it. Therefore, Rome has lost a lot of money.

Pliny once wrote, "from now on, we can go through the whole earth from one end to the other, and this is all to make the Rome woman's veil under the coquettish."

The Senate of the Rome has even seen the power and seduction of silk through repeated prohibition of silk regulations.

In 14 ad, the emperor of Rome, Emperor pireus, ordered the male citizens to wear silk clothing according to the advice of the elder, and was said to curb extravagance.

In fact, the real purpose is that silk clothing is too good at expressing human shape, which will lead to sexual life insecurity and destroy the reputation of Rome citizens.

Prohibiting male citizens from wearing silk clothing is a measure of punishing corruption.

In the 54 year of the park, Julie, the emperor of the Empire of Rome, came to power in the park during the period of Nero's administration. In particular, the fire broke out in the city of Rome in 64 ad. Most of the houses were burned down. The gossip was caused by the fire of silk by Nero.

Nero executed the suspect who made rumors and imposed the cause of arson on Christians and persecuted Christians.

Nero's extravagance, the State Treasury is very empty, plus the act of perverse act, eventually leading to its own destruction, and bringing the country to a disordered situation.

In 96, Anthony was supported by the elders, and the Empire of Rome restored order and prospered. At that time, silk was used more in the Rome empire.

At that time, aristocrats and wealthy merchants were showing off with silk silk blends. Christ Church also used silk to make curtain doors.

A large number of Chinese silk is imported into the Rome Empire, naturally from the top of society to the middle and lower levels of society.

Masselli Nur, a historian in Rome in the fourth Century, said: "in the past, our country only had only

noble

Silk wear is the only way to wear silk. Nowadays, people from all walks of life are generally taking it. Even porters and tolerances are no exception.

It is undoubtedly a heavy economic burden for the imperial government of Rome to take silk at all levels of society.

Silk is expensive after it has been pported from many countries in Central Asia and Western Asia.

It is said that in the Rome market, its weight is equivalent to gold.

This is indeed a difficult problem to solve. The Romans refused to tolerate the exploitation of middlemen. They asked where silk came from. They even wanted to buy Silk directly from silk producing areas. So China began to spread in the West as the name of the silk town.

Interestingly, though silk is widely seen in the west, the Chinese made silk products are obviously not very Westerners' tastes. They seem to be too thick.

Since the beautiful silk properties are pendulous and elegant, why not make them perfect? Of course, this may also be due to "cherish" and "prevent waste", and Western craftsmen have reprocessed silk quality.

Therefore, the silk like the cicada silk is fresh and new, not only meeting the aesthetic needs of the time people, but also more, these "fake" which have enhanced the "added value" have been chuckled to China.
