He is usually called the father of the Silk Road, because he opened the way for Chinese and western people to trade. The Silk Road is a road that Chinese people traveled on to trade goods and information. The Silk Road The Silk Road was a network of smaller trade routes that are four- thousand miles long ( crossing Asia ). It was from Louyang and the capital of Chang’an in China, to parts of the Mediterranean like Antioch is Suria. In the first one-hundred years of C.E. the Mediterranean part was taken over by the Roman Empire. The Silk Road connected the Han Empire, and the Roman Empire. Food and ideas traveled through the Silk Road. Chinese people traded stuff like spices from India, and glass stuff from Rome. On their trades the idea of Buddhism also came to China. The Silk Road connected the Eastern people, and the western people, for over a thousand year.
