During the first half of the 1st century CE, silk worm technology is thought to have reached the Han-Chinese dominated oasis of Khotan in the Tarim Basin - an oasis that is still a centre of silk production today. A Chinese princess given in marriage to a Khotan prince is said to have carried the eggs of silkworms to her new husband concealed in her hair. It is thought that silkworms and knowledge of sericulture travelled from Khotan south to India and west to Sassanid Persia during the 4th century, while records also recount a Japanese expedition to China in the same century carrying four silk-weaving girls, together with silkworm eggs, back to Japan. Khotan traces its history back at least as far as the 3rd century BCE, when the eldest son of the Indian emperor Asoka is said to have settled here. It was of great importance on the Silk Road, and is claimed to have been the first place outside China to have cultivated silk. It sits astride the Karakash or Black Jade’ and Yurungkash or

Schindler's blue colour factory is located directly on the Zwickauer Mulde river and belongs to the Zschorlau district of Albernau in the Saxon Ore Mountains. Since 2019, it has been part of the Schneeberg Mining Landscape and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region. On 27 February 1649, the Schneeberg merchant Erasmus Schindler bought a plot of land to build a blue paint factory on the Zwickauer Mulde near Albernau. On 4 May 1649, he received the privilege to build a blue dye mill from Elector Johann Georg I. As Schindlerswerk GmbH & Co. KG, it is probably the world's oldest paint factory still in production. It is associated with a long tradition of producing blue cobalt pigments and the commercial manufacture of colour pigments. In more recent times, production has been expanded to include various paints. The company also produces laundry blue, Schindlerswerk, Zschorlau OT Albernau, Saxony, Germany, Europe
