What's the Silk Road？In history，it was an important international trade route（商路） between China and the Mediterranean（地中海）
In the past，the road started in Chang'an （now Xi'an） and ended in Eastern Europe near the Mediterranean. It was about 6500 kilometers long and went across 1/4 of the world.
The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk was famous，and the traders also carried China's porcelain（瓷器） and other things to the West. And glass/gems and food like carrots from the West came to China.
The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. It was more than an international trade route. Lots of arts and science of other countries came to China through the Silk Road. In this way，languages and culture influenced each other. Today，China is trying to make the dream of the Belt and Road come true.
