摘要
Silk is a symbol of China; Chinese silk is renowned for its high quality and exquisite patterns. Silk and knowledge about sericulture spread from China to other countries, including several in Europe. Chinese culture and civilization spread throughout the world with the spread of silk and silk-made costumes. Silk has been a carrier -- and symbol -- of Oriental culture for centuries.
丝绸是中国古老文化的象征。中国丝绸以其卓越的品质、精美的花色和丰富的文化内涵闻名于世。几千年年前，当丝绸沿着古丝绸之路传向欧洲，它所带去的，不仅仅是一件件华美的服饰、饰品，更是东方古老灿烂的文明，丝绸从那时起，几乎就成为了东方文明的传播者和象征。
