养蚕是中国古代的伟大发明之一。除了桑蚕（Bombyx mori），中国农民在大约400年前就开始饲养中国柞蚕（Antheraea pernyi）。本文综述了家蚕在中国的起源和传播的历史记录。第一个明确记录人工饲养柞蚕的文献出现在1651年，尽管中国柞蚕大约在公元270年被记载。现有历史资料表明，驯化的柞蚕起源于16世纪前后的中国山东中南部地区，17世纪后期以后通过人类商业活动直接或间接地传入中国。这些结果有力地支持了现代柞蚕驯化过程中只发生过一次地理上不同的事件的假设。
Sericulture is one of the great inventions of the ancient Chinese. Besides the mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori), Chinese farmers developed rearing of the Chinese oak silkworm (Antheraea pernyi) about 400 years ago. In this paper, the historic records of the origins and dispersal of the domesticated Chinese oak silkworm in China are summarized. The first document with clearly recorded oak silkworm artificial rearing appeared in 1651, although Chinese oak silkworm was documented in about 270 AD. All of the evidence in the available historic records suggests that the domesticated Chinese oak silkworm originated in central and southern areas of Shandong Province in China around the 16th century, and then was introduced directly and indirectly by human commerce into the present habitations in China after the late 17th century. The results strongly support the hypothesis that only one geographically distinct event occurred in domestication of the modern Chinese oak silkworm.
