Achievement of China Silk Road is an ancient trade route between China and Europe. The emperor Wudi’s conquest brought the Chinese into contact with the people of Central Asia. Trade with these people introduced the Chinese to such new foods as grapes, walnuts, and garlic. In turn, Chinese goods and ideas passed to the peoples living to the West. This exchange of goods gave rise to a major trade route-the Silk Road. This ran all the way from China to the Mediterranean Sea.

Connecting Roads The Silk Road was a series of routes covered more than 4,000 miles. The Silk Road followed a challenging route through mountainous country and desert land. Few travelers ever journeyed the entire length of the Silk Road. Generally, goods were passed from trader to trader as they crossed Asia. With each trade along the route, the price of goods went up. By the time the goods arrived at the end of the journey, they were very expensive.

A Route for Goods The Silk Road got its name from silk, a valuable cloth originally made only in China. Han farmers had developed new methods for raising silkworms, the caterpillars that made the silk. Han workers found new ways to weave and dye silk. These methods were closely guarded secrets. The penalty for revealing them was death. The arrival of silk in Europe created great excitement.

A Route for Ideas More than goods traveled the road, New ideas did, too. Missionaries from India traveled to China along a section of the road and brought the religion of Buddhism. By the time the Han dynasty ended, Buddhism was a becoming a major religion in China.

Respect for Learning Han rulers found that during troubled times in the past, many people had lost respect for their traditions. Rulers encouraged people to return to the teachings of Confucius. They also required members of the civil service to be educated in Confucius teachings. The arts and scholarship flourished under the Han dynasty. But the greatest advances happened in the field of history.

A History of China Until the time of the Han dynasty, the Chinese people had little knowledge of their own history. They only knew myths that had been passed down from generations to generations. The scholar Sima Qian decided to solve the problem. He spent his life writing history of China from mythical times to the reign of Wudi. Sima Qian’s work, called Historical Records, is a major source of information about ancient China.

Han technology Because the Han government was stable, the Chinese could turn their attention to improving their society. During the Han dynasty, China became the most advanced civilization in the world. The Chinese made significant advances in farming tools and other technologies. During the Han dynasty, paper along with other practical devices were invented that did not reach Europe until centuries later.

The Invention of Paper The Chinese went from writing on wooden scrolls and bones to silk and then on paper. Around A.D. 105, the Chinese recorded one of the greatest achievements: the invention of paper. Archaeological evidence shows that paper may have already been in use before that time, but it was made from different material such as tree bark, hemp, and old rags. The availability of paper greatly influenced learning and the arts in China. After several centuries, the use of paper spread across Asia into Europe. Eventually paper replaced papyrus from Egypt as the material for scrolls and books. The Han dynasty came to an end in the A.D. 200s. Today, people in China still call themselves ‘the children of Han.”
