The “Silk Road” was a network of centuries-old trade routes which enabled traders to travel from Xian (Chang’an) in China to Istanbul (Constantinople) in Turkey. Trade goods had to cross Asia, incorporating many people and locations into long-distance trade networks. The most important good traded along the Silk Road was silk. Religion was also carried along the Silk Road as traders from different continents engaged in trade.Would you talk about Mogao Caves in Dunhuang related to the Silk Road Transmission of Buddhism?
