What were the two main ways in which civilizations from the East and West interacted in ancient times? Give one example of each. Which of these ways do you think should be promoted in interactions between nations today? Why?
(1) Violent wars, such as Alexander's Eastern Campaign and the expansion of the Eastern Roman Empire.

(2) Peaceful interactions, such as Marco Polo's visit to China, Xuanzang's travels to the west, Jianzhen's eastward journey, and the spread of world culture by the Arabs.

(3) Peaceful interaction, although the violent war in the objective also promote the East and West economic and cultural exchanges and development, but it is also very great damage to society and human life and property. Peaceful exchanges are conducive to scientific and cultural exchanges in all regions, and strengthen mutual understanding and friendship among all peoples in all regions. Therefore, in today's interaction between countries should strongly advocate this way of peace.
