The Silk Road is a term often applied to the trans-Eurasian trade routes that flourished during the first millennium of the common era. For more than a thousand years many luxury goods, of which silk was the best known, moved along these routes, from East Asia to the Mediterranean. In this essay the author discusses the rediscovery of the Silk Road and summarizes the relationship of Buddhism and the contributions of religious activities to the Silk Road. The essay also includes coverage on silk producers outside of China as well as nomads and Central Asian traders. Includes notes and references.
Xinru Liu is a professor at the Institute of World History, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, in Beijing.
