The importance of the Silk Road has been discussed both in class and also by some of my group members. This trade route originated in the east and ended at the Mediterranean. The most important link to establish cultural contact between the Roman empire and the Chinese empire. Contact would not have become so renowned without the help from the generals, diplomats and great monks that left a significant trace. They endured desolate desserts, murderous prairies, and crossed freezing Pamirs in order to spread beliefs and goods.
Ban Chao, a famous general was a diplomat in the Eastern Han Dynasty that built diplomatic relations with more than 50 states. Chao brought long lasting peace and harmony values along the Silk Road
Marco Polo is also a well known explorer that headed for China along the Silk Road. Marco discussed Chinese politics, economy, and culture to influence the the European navigation.
Zhang Quin was an outstanding explorer in Chinese history who opened up the ancient Silk Road and brought reliable information about the Western Regions.
