| 摘要： | Historic transport routes ran from mainland China and India to the Middle East, or Europe as well as north of, south of, and across the Caspian Sea - a nodal point in this scenario. The Caspian's most famous land transport corridor was the silk routes, an ancient network of trade routes connecting mainland China with Europe and the Middle East. It was in use for centuries, playing a major role in the transmission of goods, ideas, and cultures between East and West. The routes developed based on the trade of silk textiles manufactured in mainland China that was sought after mainly by customers in Italy, Egypt, and Greece. Also tea, dyes, and porcelain were exported to the west. From there, livestock, such as camels and horses, honey, wine, and gold were sent eastbound. Having existed for more than 1,500 years, the network altered world trade with other products being exchanged, including paper and gunpowder. In the 15th century, trade ties among the routes were severed with the rise of the Ottoman Empire, which imposed taxations for the West and introduced rules pertaining to the religion of the traders. Europeans, therefore, looked westward and took to the seas for continued trade. |
