Which is the central sentence of the Silk Road article? I forgot to bring a book, hurry, hurry!

The central sentence is: I didn't expect that a road will connect us thousands of miles away, this is really a great road!

How to endure goodbye to Menghan and Han, the end of the world is green and the sun is slanting!

It's a great road.

It can be summarized as follows: the Silk Road has favorably promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between China and the West, and has played a positive role in promoting the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

The Silk Road, referred to as the Silk Road, generally refers to the land Silk Road, and is broadly divided into the Land Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road.

The land silk rebellion road originated from the land passage opened by Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, starting from the capital Chang'an, passing through Gansu and Xinjiang, to Central Asia, Hongbei Youxia, and connecting the Mediterranean countries.

The Maritime Silk Road is a sea passage for ancient China and foreign countries to communicate and exchange culture, and the road is mainly centered on the South China Sea, so it is also known as the South China Sea Silk Road. The Maritime Silk Road was formed in the Qin and Han dynasties, developed from the Three Kingdoms to the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and changed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is the oldest known maritime route.

Zhang Qian and the Silk Road.

One day more than 2,000 years ago, the emperor of ancient Rome went to the theater to see a play. The dazzling robe on his body stunned all the spectators. Everyone stared intently at the emperor's new clothes and praised them, and even forgot to watch the play.

Upon inquiry, I learned that the robe was made of Chinese silk.

Since then, the gorgeous Chinese silk has been praised by Europeans as the most precious clothing, and the price is the same. The Romans called China "Seris", which means silk.

At that time, transportation was very inconvenient, there were no roads, let alone railways, cars and planes. Rome is located more than 7,000 kilometers west of China, separated by endless deserts, snow-covered mountains and remote areas'Wilderness, very harsh natural conditions. People pass through there to hide from robbers and wild beasts.

So, how did Chinese silk get to Europe?

Originally, there was a road through Asia, extending westward to the Mediterranean Sea and directly to Europe, which was a trade route dominated by silk. Historians refer to this route as the "Silk Road". In order to open up this road, Zhang Qian, a great explorer and diplomat of the Han Dynasty, dedicated his life's energy.

More than 2,100 years ago, Zhang Qian was ordered by the emperor of the Han Dynasty to take more than 100 people from the capital, cross the Yellow River, and enter the vast desert. They relied on the sun and stars to find their way, day and night, but unfortunately they were captured by the nomads, and after eleven years of humiliation, they found a chance to escape on a cold night. They crossed the Pamirs and reached the rich countries of the Western Regions.

When Zhang Qian returned, there was only one entourage left. After listening to Zhang Qian's introduction, people knew that the Western Regions was neither the fairyland Tonghere that people yearn for, nor the terrifying world that people legendary. As a result, more people went to the Western Regions to do business.

Chinese silk and iron tools were transported in a steady stream, and carrots, grapes, and horses from the Western Regions also came to China. The "Silk Road" opened up by Zhang Qian has become a link connecting Eurasia.

The Silk Road refers to the ancient overland commercial routes that began in ancient China and connected Asia, Africa and Europe. The Silk Road in the narrow sense generally refers to the overland Silk Road. Broadly speaking, it is divided into the land Silk Road and the maritime Silk Road.

Route: The northern route from Chang'an to the Eastern Han Dynasty from Luoyang to Guanzhong along the Wei River to Yu County, through Wang County, over Liupan Mountain, along the Zuli River, in Jingyuan across the Yellow River to Guzang, the distance is short, the supply conditions along the way are poor, it is an early route. The southern line crosses Longguan, Shangtai, Didao and Caohan along the Wei River from Chang'an, crosses the Yellow River from Yongjing, passes through Xining, and crosses the valley to Zhangye.

The middle line and the south line diverge in Shangqi, cross Longshan, go to Jincheng County, cross the Yellow River, trace the Zhuanglang River, and turn over the Wusheling to Guzang. Although the supply conditions of the southern route were good, the detour was long, so the central route later became the main trunk line. After the meeting of the north, south and central lines, from Zhangye to Dunhuang via Jiuquan and Guazhou, and then from Dunhuang to Lingling or Talas.
