Silk


In the Southern Song dynasty a lot of farms specialized in growing mulberry leaves, which they used to raise silk worms. That led to them organizing crafting industries for silk weaving and embroidery. In Hangzhou there was a lot of clothes and cloth made in imperial workshops and many others throughout the dynasty! For a long time silk even were thought of as more valuable then silver and gold!
