In 1973 a Japanese sericulturist arrived in Malawi with a batch of 40,000 silk worm eggs. They were taking to the Bvumbwe Agricultural Research Station in Thyolo District. In this station, work is being done to determine favourable silkworm rearing conditions and areas where mulberry trees, whose leaves the worm feed on, could grow well. According to researchers, the silkworm which eventually develops into cocoons from which raw silk is produced do well in areas with warm climate conditions. Silk is one of the strongest of fibers. In fact, for thousands of years, silk fabrics have been regarded as the most beautiful and DURABLE materials woven by man. Many people call silk the ' cloth of kings and queens'. The weaving of silk originated in China. An old Chinese book believed to be written by Confucius, tells us that the wife of the Emperor Huanga-ti was the first person to make fabrics of silk. Around 2640 B.C., Emperor Huanga-ti asked his wife Hsi Ling-Shih to study the worms that were destroying the mulberry trees in his garden. The Empress took some of the cocoons into the palace to see what they were made of. She dropped one of the cocoons into a bowl of boiling water and was AMAZED to see a cobweb-like tangle which separated from the cocoon. She picked up the gauzy mass and found that one of the threads could be unwound almost without end from the cocoon. Hsi Ling-Shih had discovered silk. She was DELIGHTED with the discovery and even wove a ceremonial ROBE for the Emperor out of the cocoon threads. After that, the officials in the Emperor's court wore brightly dyed silk robes on important occasions. People in other countries regarded the new fibres as something RARE and beautiful. A few traders went to China to learn about making cloth from silk, but the Chinese kept their silkworms a closely guarded secret.
