First, mutual benefit
The ancient Silk Road witnessed the grand occasion of "messengers meet each other, business trips are endless" on land, and also witnessed the prosperity of "ships in the sea, countless" at sea. On this artery, capital, technology, personnel and other factors of production flow freely, and goods, resources and achievements can be enjoyed.
Alma Ata, Samarkand, Chang 'an and other important towns and good ports such as Sur Port and Guangzhou are thriving, while ancient countries such as Rome, Rest in Peace and Guishuang are thriving, and the Han and Tang Dynasties in China ushered in a prosperous time. The ancient Silk Road brought great development and prosperity to this region.
Second, learn from each other.
The ancient Silk Road was not only a way of trade and barter, but also a way of knowledge exchange. Along the ancient Silk Road, China introduced silk, porcelain, lacquerware and iron to the west, and also brought pepper, flax, spices, grapes and pomegranate to China. Along the ancient Silk Road, Buddhism, Islam and Arabic astronomy, calendars and medicine were introduced to China.
China's four great inventions and sericulture techniques also spread to the world. More importantly, the exchange of goods and knowledge has brought about the innovation of ideas. For example, Buddhism originated in India, developed in China and passed down in Southeast Asia. Confucian culture originated in China and was highly respected by European thinkers such as Leibniz and Voltaire. This is the charm of communication and the result of mutual learning.
An analysis of the spiritual connotation of the Silk Road;
1, peaceful cooperation
During the Han Dynasty in China, more than 40 years BC/KLOC-0, a peace mission from Chang 'an began to open the road from east to west and completed the "hollow journey", which was the famous Zhang Qian's mission to the western regions.
During the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties in China, the Silk Road on land and at sea developed simultaneously. Travelers from China, Italy and Morocco, such as Du Huan, Kyle Poirot and ibn battuta, all left their historical marks on the Silk Road on land and at sea. From 65438 AD to the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the 5th century AD, Zheng He, a famous navigator in China, made seven voyages to the Western Ocean, leaving an eternal story.
These pioneering undertakings are famous in history, because they use camel teams and goodwill instead of horses and spears; We don't rely on powerful ships and guns, but treasure ships and friendship. Generations of "Silk Road People" have set up a bond of cooperation between the East and the West and a bridge of peace.
2. Openness and tolerance
The ancient Silk Road spans the Nile, Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Indus and Ganges, Yellow River and Yangtze River basins. It is the birthplace of Egyptian civilization, Babylonian civilization, Indian civilization and Chinese civilization, a gathering place for Buddhists, Christians and Muslims, and a gathering place for people of different countries and colors.
Different civilizations, religions and races seek common ground while reserving differences, are open and inclusive, write magnificent poems of mutual respect side by side, and work together to draw a beautiful picture of common development.
