Main language used was from Iran and is still spoken today in Tajikistan while the main Iranian language spoken today became Persian. Qur'an language condemned "idol-worshippers" like the Buddhists. Which fuelled competition.
Religions Spread (History)
Much of Silk Road economy was handled by Buddhist traders, in direct competition with Muslim traders beginning in the 7th Century. Muslim merchants operated under protection from Muslim rules, which allowed them to preach in rural areas with little knowledge of religious belief. Non-Chinese Traditions such as Buddhism were altered to meet Chinese needs when trading. There was a lot of compromise over religious customs to communicate over different civilisations. ]]> 2018-10-30 03:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cheonrondo48149/nx6frcz8vbnm/wish/298339181 cheonrondo48149 https://padlet.com/cheonrondo48149/nx6frcz8vbnm/wish/298339665

good ideas travel easily and far

• the invention of the waterwheel was invented in Rome which rapidly spread along the silk roads

development of paper and printing would be invented in the east and spread to the west

inventions were stimulated in Asia and recreated in Europe

• such as printing was created in China and spread to Europe where it was re-created and widely spread
  • One of the first irrigation technologies that didn't require either animal nor human effort after being made

 Travel ideas and techniques spread

• goods traveled in both directions: grapes from Europe to Asia and oranges from Asia to the Mediterranean

the silk road enriched not just the merchants who carried and exchanged goods but the people of countries and cultures spread along Eurasia

Side effects such as the black death plague that devastated Europe are the effect of such rapid long-distance movement of people, goods, ideas, and inventions

Silk roads=transmitter of people, ideas, goods, beliefs and inventions

There were side effects as well as beneficial effects that rapid, long distance travel carries

The silk roads were multiway streets

denotes a network of trails and trading posts

connects east asia to the mediterranean 

branch routes led to different destinations

there were always competing or alternative routes by land and sea 

the geographical context of the silk road must be thought of in the broadest of terms

The Concept of Asia

• asia is thought of as the major part of the larger physical territory of eurasia
• also though of as a collection of smaller entities
• regions interacted through trade, religion, and other factors
• wide range of cultural differences and geographical boundaries have separated them

Trade along the Silk Road waxed or waned according to conditions in China, Byzantium, Persia, and other regions and countries along the way. There were always competing or alternative routes, by land and sea, to absorb long distance Eurasian trade when conditions along the Silk Road were unfavourable"

"Once Eurasia is seen as a whole, erasing the ancient but artificial and geographically meaningless division of the land mass into “Europe” and “Asia,” it becomes possible to visualize the important geographical and cultural regions into which the continent is subdivided, and the trade routes that linked them together, sometimes over very extensive distances and across formidable physical barriers."

Even Under the Mongols in teh 13th Century, Chinese workmen had a paper making company in Samarkand. This allowed it to spread and be imitated as paper soon began appearing all over western Eurasia. Even grapes, apples and oranges were traded and spread all across the silk road from modern-day Kazakhstan to China to finally the Mediterranean world. While trade was plentiful thanks to the silk road, disease was unfortunately spread at the same rate which resulted in hundreds of deaths across the route. For example, the Black Death plague that killed thousands in Europe is believed to have come from Central Asia where it was prominent in rodents. ]]> 2018-10-30 03:24:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cheonrondo48149/nx6frcz8vbnm/wish/298342145 trivedi35185 https://padlet.com/cheonrondo48149/nx6frcz8vbnm/wish/298343184 I don't think that it should be called the "Silk Road" because no where in the articles does it mention silk as the main product of trade across the entire "road". It explains that the exchange of culture, religion, language was far more common than the trade of actual silk, and the movement of new fruits and vegetables were also prominent integration between the different civilizations. ]]> 2018-10-30 03:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cheonrondo48149/nx6frcz8vbnm/wish/298343184 grant42526 https://padlet.com/cheonrondo48149/nx6frcz8vbnm/wish/298343366  "Silk Road" is not an appropriate name for this trading route as silk was not the main focus of the Silk Roads. The movement of goods, people, ideas, religion and technology was the general focus of the Silk Road. The Silk Road is a relatively recent term and for the majority of their long history, these ancient roads had no particular name. In the mid-nineteenth century, the German geologist, Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen, name the trade and communication network Die Seidenstrasse (the Silk Road). Silk is a textile of ancient Chinese origin, woven from fibre produced by a silk worm. Chinese silk has been found in Egypt, northern Mongolia, and elsewhere. Silk was soon introduced to the Roman Empire, where it was considered an exotic luxury. This luxury item was one of the earliest impetuses in the development of trading routes from Europe to the Far East. Silk was a contributing factor or could have been the basis for the creation of the "Silk Road". As silk played an incredibly important part in establishing these trading routes, the "Silk Road" is an incredibly practical name for these routes.]]> 2018-10-30 03:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cheonrondo48149/nx6frcz8vbnm/wish/298343366 cheonrondo48149 https://padlet.com/cheonrondo48149/nx6frcz8vbnm/wish/298343375 We should not call it the silk roads because the focus of these roads is not on silk but the movement of goods, people, ideas, religion, technology, inventions, ect. The silk roads were much more than roads to transport silk. They were the first and largest conjoining of continents at the time and were a large step towards globalization in these continents. These roads were the first compilation of collective learning over such a broad distance and spiked economic stability among these areas. As the movement of art, culture and religion was shared through these long-distance exchanges. ]]> 2018-10-30 03:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cheonrondo48149/nx6frcz8vbnm/wish/298343375 cheonrondo48149 https://padlet.com/cheonrondo48149/nx6frcz8vbnm/wish/298397874 2018-10-30 09:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cheonrondo48149/nx6frcz8vbnm/wish/298397874 cheonrondo48149 https://padlet.com/cheonrondo48149/nx6frcz8vbnm/wish/298398135

A rich diversity of handicrafts were exchanges on the silk road

Lifestyle of the Han people was influenced by these imports via the Silk Road.

The Chinese’ interest in foreign commodities is manifested in the list of collectables of the Late Ming & Early Qing Dynasties period. 

The Chinese civilization used to lead the world for a fairly long period in history, with influential contributions in the areas of science and technology to other cultures on the Silk Road. 

China boasts a Cuisine Culture that is paralleled perhaps by no other country than France.

China’s major exports included silk, porcelain, lacquer ware, ironware, gold & silver ware, and other luxuries. 

In return, the Silk Road transmitted back to China a wider range of handicrafts. Items of any aspect of everyday use were traded, some becoming integrated in the lives of the Chinese. Emperor Lingdi of Han Dynasty was addicted to clothes, tent, bed, stools, konghou , flute, dancing etc. from the ethnic minority peoples in the north and west, and the whole aristocracy and all men of standing in the capital followed suit. 

Among the most important contributions were ancient China’s greatest inventions: compass, dynamite, paper-making & printing techniques, water well drilling, cast iron technologies, alchemy, sericulture, Chinese medicine (in particular, acupuncture), etc. 

China’s contribution to world’s food culture is tea. The Dutch East India Company made tea available to the Europeans in 1610, and the food culture of almost all Western countries were influenced by it. Nowadays, Europe is the most important market for tea. 

Spice was another import that came to China via the Silk Road. In China, it has been widely used in various fields as medicines, cosmetics, scent, etc.
