As far back as the Tang and Song Dynasties, some 900 to 1300 years ago, Hangzhou was already the acknowledged as China’s "home of silk". Today, Zhejiang Province with Hangzhou as its capital city is the biggest producer of silks and satins in China.

　　如果你幸运地在杭州买到了丝绸衣裳，那么你洗涤这类高级材质的衣服需要注意以下几点。第一，温水清洗；第二，不能用力拧湿的衣服，否则会起折痕；第三，最好在阴凉出晾干；第四，晾干后熨烫平整。

If you are fortunate enough to buy some silk clothing while you are in Hangzhou, there are some points that should be mentioned about the washing of this high quality material. The water must be warm and once washed, the wet clothes must not be wrung too hard so as not to create creases. And it is best to dry them by keeping them in the shade. They should be ironed when they are almost dry.

　　不管是中国人还是外国人，都喜欢用丝绸做衣服。丝绸手感柔软，还能发出微微光芒，吸水性好。综上，它有着良好的透气性，优于合成纤维。杭州当地的商店、超市能购买到各式各样、品种齐全的丝绸、绸缎制品。

Both Chinese and foreigners love to make clothes of silk. They are soft to the touch. They shine gently as the subtle light hits them. They have high moisture absorption. Above all, they breathe well and that is where they are superior to synthetic fibres. All kinds of silks and satins are available from local stores and markets throughout Hangzhou.
