The Land of Silk

    中华风物——中国的丝绸

    English

    Contents:

    For many centuries, China was the world's sole producer of silk and silk fabrics, which found their way to every nook and cranny of the globe through trade and other types of exchanges.

    Over two millennia ago, the Chinese were already selling silks along the maritime Silk Road and the continental Silk Road, which also provided major channels for East-West exchanges in arts, culture and other products of civilization. All this time, the Silk Road served as a bridge of friendship between the four major civilizations of China, India, Greece and Rome.
