I’m now visiting Dibao Silk (Xi’an Branch) in Shaanxi, China after visiting Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Dayan Ta) & Mercy & Kindness Temple (Da Ci’en) :

We’re each & all given the following Cards by Dibao Silk Sales personnel upon entry :

Desscriptions of The Old Ancient Silk Road & how Silk came about in China which is the Birthplace of Silk for more than 5000 years now……………

Here’s an Ancient Soft Silk Armour (or “Qin Lou Yi” in Chinese) worn by Genghis Khan (1162-1227) during Battles - on display inside Dibao Silk :

WOW is SILK that good that even many Genghis Kan’s Warriors were saved by wearing the Ancient Soft Silk Amour to Battles!?!! Well YES it’s true!! Beside being most luxurius & sensuous, Silk has many Benefits which I’ve listed below :

(1) Silk is the most hypoallergenic of all Fabrics cos of its natural Protein structure

(2) Amino Acids in Silk are good for our skin & helps in delaying wrinkles & Improving our hair

(3) Silk is relatively Robust as it resists oil & odors

(4) Silk absorbs perspiration while letting our skin breathe

(5) Silk is wrinkle & tear resistant, & dries quickly

(6) Silk is the Strongest natural fiber & is more durable & stronger than a fiber of Steel

(7) Silk is a naturally Fire Retardant material & it’s highly recommended for babies & children

(8) Silk is warm & cosy during Cold weather, but cools comfortably when Temperature rises

(9) Silk takes color well, washes eaily, & is easy to work in spining, weaving, knitting & sewing

Silk is indeed so GOOD!! No wonder Mom & Dad used to buy Silk Quilts & Silk Quilt Covers for us whenever they visited China!!

Well, above’s a Poster showing the Silk Mattress on the Chinese Emperor’s Bed :

Now, these below are the Female Moth, Silkworms Eggs, & Cocoon Pods :

Hahah still remember Mom used to bring back one of these Silkworm Cocoons for me from her China Travelling when I was at a very young age!!! And MY GOODNESS I had no idea what it was & kept it close with me on my Study Table even though I’m most AFRAID of the “ANIMALS”!!!

Well, if you know me very well enough, you’d know what “ANIMALS” I’m referring to huh!!

I call them “ANIMALS” cos I usually can’t even stand calling them by their names cos just hearing of them fills me with fear - not to even mention the sights of them at all!!! YEAH YEAH I’m that SCARED of them I’d scream & cry & run & hide & jump in fear & panic if & when I see or hear about them!!!

So you can IMAGINE I’m actually having goose pimples all over my hands & legs & body as I’m typing these out for you right now………ERRR EEERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! OK I must brave myself & quickly finish this POST asap!!!

YEAh yeah now you know what “ANIMALS” I’m referring to huh!! As for the below missing information - well, I’d rather NOT know at all!! NO THANKS I’d not wana hear anything about them at all!!!
