B
The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean (地中海). It began during the Western Han Dynasty and has been a bridge between East and West for over 2, 000 years.
The ancient road started from Chang'an (now Xi'an) and ended in Eastern Europe, near today's Turkey (土耳其) and the Mediterranean Sea. It was about 6, 500 kilometers long and went across one - fourth of the earth.
The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. Silk, jade (玉器), ceramics (陶瓷) and iron went west to Rome. And from the west came glass, gems (宝石) and food like carrots.
The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. It was more than an ancient international trade route. Besides trade, knowledge about art science and literature (文学), as well as crafts (工艺品) and technologies was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.
Today, China is trying to build the “21st Century Marine (海洋的) Silk Road”. With the help of APEC (亚太经贸合作组织) held in Beijing in November 2014, the dream of One Belt One Road (the “Silk Road Economic (经济的) Belt” and “21st Century Marine Silk Road”) is coming true.
