The Silk Road refers to the ancient commercial and trade routes that started in ancient China and connected Asia,Africa and Europe.In terms of transportation mode,it can be divided into the land Silk Road and the maritime Silk Road.

The overland Silk Road started in Chang'an,the capital of the Western Han Dynasty(it extended to Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty).The Silk Road is a major road for economic,political and cultural exchanges between the East and the West.Its original function was to transport silk produced in ancient China.Thus,when the German geographer Ferdinand Freiherr von Richthofen first named it the"Silk Road"in the 1870s,it was widely accepted.

On June 22,2014,the 38th World Heritage Conference was held in Doha,Qatar.It was announced that the"Silk Road:The Road Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor"jointly declared by China,Kazakhstan and Kyrgyz Republic was successfully declared as a World Heritage Site,making it the first transnational cooperation project to be successfully declared as a World Heritage Site.

In 73 AD,the Banchao of the Eastern Han Dynasty reopened the Western Regions,which had been isolated for 58 years.The Roman Empire also followed the Silk Road for the first time to Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty.It was not only the first contact between Europe and China,but also the complete Silk Road route in the early 21st century.Among the goods traded along this long route,China's silk was the most representative,hence the name"Silk Road".The Silk Road is not only an ancient trade road for Asia and Europe to exchange needed goods,but also a road to promote friendly exchanges between Asian and European countries and China,and the friendship between the Eastern and Western cultures.Some famous figures in history,such as Zhang Qian,who went on a mission to the Western Regions,Ban Chao,a Buddhist monk who traveled to the East in search of Buddhism from Yongping,and Xuanzang,a Buddhist monk who traveled to the West for Buddhist scriptures,have all told stories about this road.
