The production and artistic style of Hangzhou silk reached certain heights in the Song Dynasty, and it was then that Hangzhou became the "Home of Silk". It can be said that Song Dynasty culture and silk culture existed in reliance on each other and supplemented each other. The upcoming Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 will not only be a sporting event but also a cultural event to showcase beautiful Chinese silk to the world .
