Detailed explanation-1: -Silk Road, also called Silk Route, ancient trade route, linking China with the West, that carried goods and ideas between the two great civilizations of Rome and China. Silk went westward, and wools, gold, and silver went east. China also received Nestorian Christianity and Buddhism (from India) via the Silk Road.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Silk Road derives its name from the highly lucrative trade of silk textiles that were produced almost exclusively in China. The network began with the Han dynasty’s expansion into Central Asia around 114 BCE, which largely pacified the once untamed region.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, throughout the history of these routes a number of goods have been introduced to China via the Silk Roads. These have included types of fruit, crops, herbs and spices as well as various medicines.
