One story says that a young princess was drinking tea in her garden and watching silkworms spin cocoons. By chance one dropped into her tea and the hot tea made it soft. When the girl tried to take the cocoon out of her tea, it became separated and she pulled out a long silk thread. The Chinese learned to weave (编织) the silk thread into cloth. For 2,000 years, they were the only people who knew how to make silk. The Chinese businessmen sold silk cloth throughout Asia and Europe and became rich. Silk was so expensive that it was called "the cloth of kings". Everyone wanted to learn how to make silk, but the Chinese kept the secret carefully. Finally, the secret was stolen. In the sixth century, two monks learned about the silkworms and their cocoons. They spent several years in China and finally found a way to take some silkworm eggs out of the country.

Zhang Qian had to stay with them for about lo years before he got away. When he finally reached the Yue-chi in the North India, he was disappointed to find that they didn't want to fight against the Xiongnu people. On his return journey, he was caught again.
