The political boundaries as well as the national identities of the encompassing countries also were altered. Despite changes in materials, the original purpose of the silk road remained intact throughout this time period. Asian commodities were traded with European merchants along the road and vice versa.…

    At the beginning of the 1st century C.E ., when Buddhism began to spread from India to China, it encountered mixed results. Many Chinese had accepted the practice of Buddhism and stood by its policies when others were penetrating Buddhism's absence from past beliefs and used it as a pushover for social and political problems. Still others stayed impartial, wanting to mesh the differences of belief systems in China to create a one of a kind Chinese culture. Documents 2 and 3 support the spread of buddhism in China, while documents 4 and 6 examined and dampened the spread of buddhism in china in the 1st century C.E., Documents 1 and 5 share both sides of the story, discouragements and encouragements of the spread of Buddhism in China, but equally share an understanding. It provides a third prospective.…

    From 600 to 1400 C.E., two essential trade routes of the Post-Classical world were the Silk Roads and that of the Indian Ocean Basin, which were both vast networks of many ancient routes linking various destinations within their intricate systems of trade and exchange. Each of these trade routes yielded extremely numerous effects and implications for the future that would affect life on earth for many years to come—and these effects are similar for the major trade routes of the Silk Roads and the Indian Ocean Basin with social regards to the fact that both routes majorly influenced the significant spread of religions and, thus, cultures; however, the effects are very different with regards to the resulting opportunities for cross-cultural encounters due to the fact that the Silk Road’s spreading of epidemic disease diminished these encounters and the Indian Ocean Basin’s mastery of sailing techniques allowed for abundant trade to result in a rich plethora of cross-cultural exchange.…

    The Silk Road began in eastern Asia around 200 B.C.E. From there, it expanded and flourished over the next few centuries until it became outdated and fell to trade by sea. Stretching from China to parts of Western Europe, it was the most important trade route of its time. The economic system, goods traded, technology, religions prominent, and people in power varied over time. However the importance of silk along with other spices, the spread of ideas as well as disease, and the continuous diffusion of culture remained the same. Many subtle transformations and changes occurred during this era, but the road still upheld its original purpose through it all.…

    The Silk Roads are a network of land and see lanes all over three continents of the world – Asia, Europe and Africa. Starting in the third century BCE, China used the Silk Roads to carry trade goods to the lands of the Mediterranean. Moreover, people from Eurasia and Africa participated in the commercial transactions since the second century BCE. Traders and religious pilgrims travelled the roads for a bigger purpose than just trading: They spread political and religious ideas throughout three continents by sharing their experiences and impressions from travelling on the Silk Roads. Furthermore, they connected millions of people with each other and therefore had a big impact on growth of political culture and religion in the world. I want to…

    Modern Silk Road

    • 263 Words

    The main focus, or thesis, of this article was similar to the likes of Andre Gunder Frank and Barry Gills; that the trans-civilizational and, less understood, trans-ecological exchanges along the Silk Road linked all regions of the Afro-Eurasian landmass- agrarian civilizations, the woodland communities to the north and steppe pastoralists- into a single "world-system" of trade that is several millennia old. Among these exchanges across cultures were goods, yes, but also ideas, technologies, languages and cultural/ religious motifs. These exchanges are argued to have been taken place much earlier than previously thought and, in turn, the Silk Road as well. Many archeological and written evidence of this was given, like that of the trans-ecological routes that crossed the arterial trans-civilizational routes from China to the Mediterranean and linked regions of pas toralism with regions of agriculture. They were older than the arterial routes, and were always integral to the functioning of the Silk Roads. The article's focus on the trans-ecological branches of the Silk Road also suggested the need for a revised account of Silk Roads history. It suggested, first, that the Silk Roads originated deep in prehistory. Second, it suggested a different account of their functioning in the classical era, having been taken under control of many peoples. Third, it explained profound changes in the nature of Inner Eurasia's ecological geography. This article's purpose was to tease, with valid evidence and arguments, that the Silk Road we thought we knew, is actually much older and covers more landmass than thought before.…
