This is regarding the impact of the Silk Road trade on the culture of Asia and its development... (Asia being China, Xiongu, and and central Asia).
Like with the spread of religion, or musical development of styles, art and architecture, the food or the advancements in technology...
Was the impact like probably the most significant one in the history of this civilization?? I am not too familiar with Asian culture or history so please help me out as much as possible thanks :)
Yes, I think the impact of the Silk Road was very important during World History (Especially for China and Europe). What the merchants brought from China were silks, gold, ... They brought those things to Europe through the Middle East for trading and brought back money.That was a major trade route in Asia. The Chinese were the people to "invented" silk first, then they stored this secret and no one at the rest of the world know, then they brought these silks for trading (The European merchants were very interested in Chinese silks) and brought back money.
