V^e have to come down to the sixth century of our era to find a reference to cotton in Turkestan. Liang-shu, 54,si*, says that «in K'au-chang (Turfan) there grew in great abundance a plant the fruit of which resembled a silk cocoon. In the cocoon is a silky substance like fine hemp (^OT ^jm) which is called po-tie-tzi (^ HS -?*). The natives 30 weave it into a cloth which is soft and white, and which they send to the markets (of China).» Its use was not so general in Turkestan in the sixth cent...ury but that we find in Yen-ki in Eastern Turkestan the people using silk cocoons as wadding for clothes. Wei-shu, 102,7*- The pilgrim Fa-hi6n, who travelled in India in the beginning of the fifth century, calls the cotton fabrics of the country po-tie in the only passage of his Fo-kuo-ki in which he refers to 35 them (26,27 of Legge's edit., 79 of his translation). Conf also, China Keview, XIX, 192.
A century later occurs the first use of anew term for cotton, Tcu-pei ("db ^) or Tei-pei (^S ^ ), which is the Malay word Jcapas (the Sanskrit karpasa), still in use throughout the Indian Archipelago, from Macassar to Sumatra, to designate Gossypium herbaceum.
