As early as
the 6th century A.D., both peoples conducted trade and cultural exchanges through
the "Silk Road on the Sea". The Silk Road made indelible
contributions to the economic and cultural communication between Europe and our
country in early years
The Silk Road trade
played a significant role in the development of the civilizations of China and Europe, opening long-distance political and economic relations between the
civilizations. Though silk was the major trade item exported from China, many
other goods and ideas were exchanged, including religions (especially
Buddhism), syncretic philosophies, sciences, and technologies like paper and
gunpowder. So, in addition to economic trade, the Silk Road was a route for
cultural trade among the civilizations along its network.
