WANGJIANGJING, an ancient township by a river, is 15 kilometers north of Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province. For centuries, since the early Tang Dynasty, the residents of this town have been producing silk. They were accustomed to a life where men were in charge of ploughing the fields and women in charge of raising silkworms and weaving beautiful fabrics. They built their life with their hands.
