	The '''Silk Road''' was a network of trade routes that linked together [[Asia]]n and [[Europe]]an civilizations across the great {{Wiki\|Eurasia}}n continent and northeastern [[Africa]].

	Exchange was not limited to material goods; the dissemination of ideas and beliefs of all forms was facilitated as well.

By the time of the Tang dynasty, it had been thoroughly entrenched as a predominant faith in East Asia.
