In Ancient Rome, agriculture and landholding was a much better occupation to have than being a trader or merchant. In China, trade was looked down upon as a worse job than agriculture, which was considered a "fundamental occupation." Also, the silk that was traded from Central Asia to China was "coveted" by the Roman upper class.

In the Han dynasty they believed in the importance of respecting ones parents, elders, and ancestors. They were open to different types of people and helped link central government to both local elites and the common people.
