Reader comments
The Silk Road is destined to be an extraordinary road carrying the significance of historical change: He made China's silk and civilization float to all parts of the world along with the yellow sand in the sky. Rome and Persia created their own glory because of him. Genghis Khan left the sound of flying horse hooves on this road with a broadsword... The author of this book has poured the historical research results of the Silk Road into this book, and at the same time explained the profound and simple historical changes in popular and clear language, making this book of extremely high research significance and historical significance.
This book is like a time and space tunnel, taking me through the historical changes on the Silk Road! I particularly like the descriptions of exchanges between different civilizations in the book, such as "When we came to the Turkic tribe... We saw some people worshiping snakes, some people worshiping fish, and some people worshiping cranes." This made me feel the diversity and wonder of the world. Moreover, the book also mentions many important figures and events in history, such as Genghis Khan and his Western Expeditions, which is so cool! I think this book is really worth reading and will give you a deeper understanding of the Silk Road.
The author has a unique perspective and uses the Silk Road as a starting point to restructure world history. The Silk Road began with Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It has since developed vigorously, starting from Chang'an, passing through Gansu and Xinjiang, entering Central Asia and West Asia, and connecting the Mediterranean countries. This is a great passage that brought Eastern civilization to the world. Along this prosperous Silk Road, many interesting things happened, which also contributed to the rise and fall of dynasties and inspired some people's ambition to conquer the world. This is what the author tells, looking at the world from the perspective of the Silk Road, giving readers an extraordinarily broad vision and a window to re-examine history.
Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and opened the Silk Road. From the Road Silk Road to the Maritime Silk Road, history has been constantly changing, but the Silk Road has continued to play a decisive role in every era. Especially in recent years, the strategic proposition of "One Belt, One Road" has been proposed, which has also unveiled the mystery of the Silk Road. This book introduces the birth and development of the Silk Road to readers in detail. It has different missions in different periods, from the Road of Faith to the New Silk Road. This step-by-step evolution has witnessed the changes of the times and the vicissitudes of life.
