The Mulberry Net original: 桑網 (sangwang) refers to a specialized large-scale woven net or flexible basket used during the harvest. In the accompanying illustration, laborers are shown stripping leaves from mulberry trees; the net serves as a centralized collection point to gather and transport the high volume of foliage required to feed developing silkworms.
