"The legend of silk origin spread very far and there were also many kinds of silkworm gods worshipped by folk people. The most famous official legend was Leizu, Yuan Fei of Yellow Emperor... 'She first taught people to rear silkworms for getting silk from the cocoon for making clothes, thus people under the sun needn’t worry about suffering from cracked skin and chilblain, consequently, later generations deified her as the silkworm goddess.' Leizu was also called Xilingshi and her clan was originated from near the Xiling Gorge in Sichuan, therefore someone predicted that Leizu’s technology of breeding silkworms might have come from Sichuan." - Weaving Technology
