The Silk Road, a series of ancient trade routes stretching across Central Asia to Europe, evokes exotic images of camel trains laden with bales of fine Chinese silk, spices, and perfume, of desert oases surrounded by snow-capped mountains, of bustling markets thronging with travellers buying and selling grapes, coriander, Baltic amber, and Mediterranean coral. Along this The Silk Road, a series of ancient trade routes stretching across Central Asia to Europe, evokes exotic images of camel trains laden with bales of fine Chinese silk, spices, and perfume, of desert oases surrounded by snow-capped mountains, of bustling markets thronging with travellers buying and selling grapes, coriander, Baltic amber, and Mediterranean coral. Along this route, silks were sent from China to ancient Rome; princesses were dispatched in marriage alliances across the deserts; bandits and thieves launched attacks throughout history. Covering more than 5, years, this book, lavishly illustrated with photographs, manuscripts, and paintings from the collections of the British Library and other museums worldwide, presents an overall picture of the history and cultures of the Silk Road. It also contains many previously unpublished photographs by the great explorers Stein, Hedin, and Mannerheim. More than just a trade route, the Silk Road witnessed the movement of cultural influences. Frances Wood traces the story of the civilizations and ideas that flourished and moved along its vast geographical expanse. Indian Buddhism was carried into China on the Silk Road, initiating a long history of pilgrimages along the lonely desert routes; Manichaeism, Nestorian Christianity, and Islam also made their way eastwards along its route. The nineteenth century saw a new interest in Central Asia and the Silk Road, as Russia and Britain vied for power on the frontiers of Afghanistan. A new breed of explorer, part archaeologist, part cartographer, part spy, was seen on the Silk Road, while some of the ancient cities, long buried in sand-blown dunes, began to give up their secrets. This book brings the history of the Silk Road alive--from its beginnings to the present day, revealing a rich history still in the making. Get A Copy. Paperback , pages. More Details Original Title.

Sep 11, Grace Tjan rated it really liked it Shelves: history , wanderlust , This book is a well-illustrated, very readable introduction to the Silk Road and the various countries that it traverses. Wood's brisk narration is lively, and she has a knack for selecting interesting passages from various travelers reports on the area, from Marco Polo who Wood believes to have never traveled to China at all to Aurel Stein, whose controversial excavations at Dunhuang shed light on esoteric documents that had been sealed up in a cave for a thousand years. Besides Western This book is a well-illustrated, very readable introduction to the Silk Road and the various countries that it traverses. Besides Western travelers, we also hear from Asian sources such as Faxian and Xuantang, the famous Tang-dynasty monk who brought Buddhist scriptures to China. For those enamored of the romance and mystery of the Silk Road, this book does not disappoint in its generous depiction of lost cities, buried treasures, exotic goods and ancient legends. View all 3 comments. I've been aware for about a year and a half that Central Asia was a major gap in my knowledge of history. I hoped that this book would help fill that in and it had plenty of solid information in it, mixed in with surprising anecdotes from the ancient chronicles. It talks about the history of quite a few of the peoples who've lived in the region, or at any rate the history of their dealings with China and Europe. For most of them it does a good job of giving a sense of where these peoples came I've been aware for about a year and a half that Central Asia was a major gap in my knowledge of history. For most of them it does a good job of giving a sense of where these peoples came from and so forth to distinguish one from another by, though it's hard to piece together the timeline of civilizations in any of the cities that lasted through several of them.

My interest in central Asia has been piqued since a recent homestay trip in Mongolia. Since then, the "-istan's", for me hidden behind the opacity of the Cold War for most of my life, have been a source of mild intrigue. Reading "The Silk Road" has added significant color - if not necessarily clarity - to my familiarity with the tangled history of the region.

  • The Social Classes Who Served in the Great Silk Road Service System
    International Journal of Social Science And Human Research ISSN(print): 2644-0679, ISSN(online): 2644-0695 Volume 03 Issue 06 June 2020 Page: 64-66 The Social Classes Who Served in the Great Silk Road Service System Anvar Achilov Tuychievich Abstract: In this article some features of the service system of the Great Silk Road are discussed based on historical sources and literature. Keywords: Great Silk Road, caravan routes, service system, convoy carrier, messenger, medicine, hire, postal service, ambassadors, shopping cities, spies. Introduction It is known from history that the system of service on all types of roads (domestic, foreign, international, transit) has played an important role. The Great Silk Road and its branches are no exception. In addition, the development of the service system on various roads includes many issues such as the composition of trade caravans, the condition (replacement) of camels and horses, guides, sarbons, the supply of food (fodder), water to traders, ambassadors or tourists and animals. The activity of the service system on caravan routes, more precisely its scope, also depended on the composition of the caravan. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to briefly dwell on the issue of caravan composition. The composition of the caravan was usually determined by the proximity of the city or country, the natural geographical conditions of the area where the trade caravan passes, the condition and level of safety of roads, the availability and accessibility of road infrastructure, the convenience of the season and other similar factors. The Main Results and Findings In the Middle Ages, traders worked in large caravans along the Great Silk Road.

    Sándor Szatmári (University of Pécs) Heritage cOrridOrs: sustainable tOurism develOpment alOngside tHe silk rOad abstract Heritage cOrridOrs: sustainable tOurism develOpment alOngside tHe silk rOad Over the centuries several routes have been created alongside geographical corridors. People travelled and traded along these routes, later cities and cultures have emerged on the nodes of them. This phenomenon can be observed on any continent. The Silk Road is a glaring example of this. The system of the Silk Road heads through deserts, seashores, river valleys and mountain passes. It cuts across the Eurasian Continent. The countries along the historical Silk Road look for the opportunities of collaboration and cooperation. We can say, that this cooperation means a natural way of cooperation for these countries from the point of their geographical location and geological connections. A possible way of cooperation is the common tourism development. For this area, the natural geographical and built environment, the connections of these environmental factors have a large importance. The connecting of these circumstances can make a sus- tainable tourism development model. Any countries on the Silk Road have the opportu- nity to invest and connect to this cooperation. It means a sure and long run investment. Keywords: Silk Road, tourism development, sustainability, heritage corridor 1.—Introduction In the following, I would like to introduce the efforts to create a tourist co-operation along the ancient Silk Road. It is important to note that the main player in this international cooperation is China, who has recognized 14—— ——————————————————————————————— — sándOr szatmári the need to strengthen cooperation between East and West for economic growth.
