    - What purpose has the Great Wall held throughout Chinese past and present?

    The Silk Road trade played a significant role in the development of the civilizations of China, Korea, Japan, the Indian subcontinent, Iran, Europe, the Horn of Africa and Arabia, opening long-distance political and economic relations between the civilizations.

    Though silk was the major trade item exported from China, many other goods and ideas were exchanged, including 

    • religions (especially Buddhism),
    • syncretic philosophies,
    • sciences,
    • and technologies like paper and gunpowder.

    So in addition to economic trade, the Silk Road was a route for cultural trade among the civilizations along its network. Diseases, most notably plague, also spread along the Silk Road.

     

     

      c) EU and China nowadays

      In the present day, trade takes place on the Silk Road on land and on the maritime branch. There are several projects under the name of “New Silk Road” to expand the transport infrastructure in the area of the historic trade routes. The best known is probably the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

       

      In June 2014, UNESCO designated the Chang'an-Tianshan corridor of the Silk Road as a World Heritage Site. The Indian portion is on the tentative site list.
