The Silk Road is a network of trade routes that connects the East and the West, and served as an important source of cultural, political and economic interactions from the 2nd century BCE to the 18th century. The Silk Road is named after the lucrative trade in silk carried out along its length, beginning with the Han dynasty in China. It also played a significant role in the development of the civilizations of China, Japan, Korea, India, Iran, Europe and Arabia.[1]
Some cities benefited greatly from the trade along the Silk Road such as Suyab and Herat.[2][3][4] It also helped spread the Indian religion Buddhism to the rest of Asia, where it became the predominant faith with the pearl-like Śarīra being commonly found among Chinese and Japanese Buddhist priests such as Jianzhen.[3]
