Contents: Over 2,000 years ago, China began to conduct transactions with other civilized countries through trade in commodities such as silk, colored glaze, gold, pottery and gems. As silk was the major and the most typical commodity for export, the thoroughfare linking China with the Western world for cultural and economic communication was referred to by contemporary scholars as the "Silk Road."
