The Silk RoadAncient trade route that linked China with Europe.Originally a caravan route and used from с 100 BC, the 4,000-mi (6,400-km) road started in Xi'an, China, followed the Great Wall to the northwest, climbed the Pamir Mtns., crossed Afghanistan, and went on to the eastern Mediterranean Sea, where goods were taken by boat to Rome. Silk was carried westward, while wool, gold, and silver were carried eastward. With the fall of Rome, the route became unsafe; it was revived under the Mongols, and Marco Polo used it in the 13th century.

The silk road began in the second Century BC, the Han emperor sent Zhang Qian to the western regions of the period“丝绸之路”是指起始于古代中国，连接亚洲、非洲和欧洲的古代路上商业贸易路线。狭义的丝绸之路一般指陆上丝绸之路。广义上讲又分为陆上丝绸之路和海上丝绸之路。“陆上丝绸之路”是连接中国腹地与欧洲诸地的陆上商业贸易通道，形成于于公元前2世纪与公元1世纪间，直至16世纪仍保留使用，是一条东方与西方之间经济、政治、文化进行交流的主要道路。[1] 汉武帝派张骞出使西域形成其基本干道。它以西汉时期长安为起点（东汉时为洛阳），经河西走廊到敦煌。从敦煌起分为南北两路：南路从敦煌经楼兰、于阗、莎车，穿越葱岭今帕米尔到大月氏、安息，往西到达条支、大秦；北路从敦煌到交河、龟兹、疏勒，穿越葱岭到大宛，往西经安息到达大秦。[2] 它的最初作用是运输中国古代出产的丝绸。因此，当德国地理学家Ferdinand Freiherr von Richthofen 最早在19世纪70年代将之命名为“丝绸之路”后，即被广泛接受。
