8 Silk Road - Network of trade routes that stretched more than 4,000 miles across Asia that led to exchange of goods and ideas.

9 G oing to Market Imagine you are the Chinese trader Zhang Lian traveling in the first century: Why is Zhang Lien worried about his trip and why would he travel if he is so nervous? What can you determine about trade in Ancient China from this story passage? Would you take this trade journey? Class Vote: ______ _____

10 "Tomorrow I leave for Samarkand. I cannot believe my next trip is already upon me! It seems like only yesterday that I last returned from the desert. What a journey that was—my camels were loaded with gold and silver when I returned, and I even brought back some cinnamon and other spices purchased from the Indian merchant Ashoka. We talked about many subjects as we both rested and got fresh supplies before leaving the town we were staying in. He shared some interesting ideas about a new philosophy called Buddhism. I hope to meet him again. I have a lot of questions to ask, and my customers want more of his spices. I have plotted my route along the Silk Road. However, I am a little nervous setting out. Yesterday I heard of a caravan being attacked near Turpan, my first stop. The attackers stole all of their silk and killed three of the traders. I will follow the Great Wall as much as I can, but even the wall does not guarantee my protection. My family worries I will not be safe. Yet, how can I not go? I have many bolts of raw silk, and they will fetch a good price at market. Plus, my customers here will pay a great deal for the colored glass that comes from Europe, if I am able to obtain some. My camels are loaded up for the long journey ahead. All that is left is to say goodbye in the morning. The first leg of my journey will be several days. Then, I will stop in Turpan to feed and water my animals—and perhaps find out more about the dangers on the road ahead before setting out across the desert once more. Next month, if all goes well, I shall return safely with money for my family and more goods for my customers here."
