It is for making clothes. Because of the special feature of silk clothing, it is expensive. Only royal families can wear silk in ancient time. It was used as gift or good to exchange jade and jewlery back along the Silk Road. How this invention made people's life better? Not all people. Silk is beautiful and presious, so it was the symbol of status. Comparatively, cotton which is cheaper and warmer made all the people live better.
