The silk road was used to trade useful items as well as share ideas and customs.
Many things were created due to the combined ideas created during the travels on the silk road.
China invented paper and the invention spread across the silk road and it was reinvented multiple times in order to make it better as the years passed.
('In China, the invention of paper stimulated the invention of printing, sometime during the 6th century CE—a development energetically supported by Buddhism, according to which the duplication of sacred texts was an act of religious merit. The re-invention of printing in Europe centuries later did not employ East Asian-style printing technology, but it may have been stimulated by accounts of Chinese printing that could have circulated in the Middle East')
other things that were traded and remade along the silk road is the waterwheel, invented in roman Syria. As well as foodstuffs, rituals and religion.

The silk road was a series of trade routes that branched through the entirety of most of Asia, Africa, and Europe. As my source so eloquently said: 

The major subregions are: the Intermountain Desert and Oasis Belt; the Trans-Eurasian Steppe Belt; China; the Mediterranean; the Middle East; South Asia; Northeast Asia; Northern Europe; Mainland Southeast Asia; Island Southeast Asia; the Boreal Forest; and the Arctic Littoral. 

The journey along the silk road was quite dangerous, since the terrain was rough, and there were many bandits along the way. The trip was very long, especially since during the golden period of the silk road, there were not many quick ways of transport to get along the silk road. ]]> 2017-10-03 05:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/munasinghe44351/p8y3vt642r8n/wish/193270047 fuma44742 https://padlet.com/munasinghe44351/p8y3vt642r8n/wish/193270162 The Silk Road was a series of roads and trade routes used for transporting people, goods, ideas, beliefs, and inventions. It was mainly for trading commodities that one civilization has a surplus of or a means to make that another one doesn't have. When two different civilizations have different commodities like these, they trade those commodities along the Silk Road and in short, "everybody wins."

The main road connects directly between China and Rome; there were other subregions and paths that included the Intermountain Desert and Oasis Belt, the Trans-Eurasian Steppe Belt, the Mediterranean Sea, the Middle East, South Asia, Northeast Asia, Northern Europe, Mainland Southeast Asia, Island Southeast Asia, the Boreal Forest, and the Arctic Littoral.

China's main commodities were things like silk, jade, bronze, and porcelain; glass was very rare in China back then and they traded with Rome for things like gold, silver, ivory, gems, and of course glass; Persia had a surplus and a commodity of wool; and so on.]]> 2017-10-03 05:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/munasinghe44351/p8y3vt642r8n/wish/193270162 fuma44742 https://padlet.com/munasinghe44351/p8y3vt642r8n/wish/193270735 2017-10-03 05:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/munasinghe44351/p8y3vt642r8n/wish/193270735
