The Silk Road refers to the land passage opened by Zhang Qian in the Western Han Dynasty (202 -8 BC) (also known as the "Northwest Silk Road"), starting from Chang 'an (Jin 'an) and Luoyang in the east, passing through Gansu and Xinjiang to Central Asia and West Asia, connecting Mediterranean countries, in order to distinguish the other two traffic routes named "Silk Road" in the future. Because silk products have the greatest influence on the goods transported to the west, it is named. Its basic trend was set in the Han Dynasty, including three routes: South Road, Middle Road and North Road.

The Silk Road in a broad sense refers to the long-distance commercial, trade and cultural exchange routes that have been formed since ancient times and spread all over Eurasia, even including North Africa and East Africa. In addition to the above routes, it also includes the Maritime Silk Road, which was formed in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and played a great role in the late Ming Dynasty, and the Southern Silk Road, which appeared at the same time as the Northwest Silk Road and replaced the Northwest Silk Road as a communication channel on the road at the end of Yuan Dynasty.
