About This Novel
My country's silk has always enjoyed a high reputation around the world. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, a large number of merchants connected China with the rest of the world through the land-based "Silk Road", promoting economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West. From the middle of the Tang Dynasty onwards, the Maritime Silk Road gradually became the main channel for exchanges between the East and the West. My country's porcelain was sold to the world through this channel and became a treasure coveted by countries around the world, while foreign spices, ivory, etc. Valuables have also become a necessity for Chinese rulers. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Maritime Silk Road experienced unprecedented prosperity, which lasted for hundreds of years. People called this Maritime Silk Road the "Ceramic Road" or the "Fragrant Silk Road". It was the link between my country and Asian and African countries. It was a road of civilization and friendship. It made an indelible contribution to the exchange and development of world civilization. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that this Maritime Silk Road gradually declined.
