Land silk road route

The Silk Road refers to the land passage from Luoyang through Chang 'an (Xi 'an), Gansu and Xinjiang to Central Asia, West Asia and Europe, connecting Mediterranean countries.

The Silk Road was originally an overland trade route opened by Zhang Jian when he went to the Western Ocean in the Western Han Dynasty, starting from Chang 'an and reaching as far as West Asian countries. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Chao went to the Western Regions again, opening up the long-abandoned Silk Road and extending the route to Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and to Europe (Rome) at the western end. This is a complete Silk Road route at present.

Because silk products have the greatest influence on the goods transported to the west, it is named. Its basic trend was set in the Eastern Han Dynasty, including three routes: South Road, Middle Road and North Road.

Some countries also hope to spread their religion to the East.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, despite the expansion of European powers at sea, China was still regarded as the most prosperous and ancient civilization by the west. Scholars mostly think that this is the spiritual influence brought by the Silk Road in the history of communication between China and the West, and it also creates the impression that the West can gain huge profits through its trade with China in the modern 200 years.
