Which dynasty did the Maritime Silk Road begin? Which country is the farthest?

The Maritime Silk Road sprouted in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, developed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, formed in Qin and Han Dynasties, flourished in Tang and Song Dynasties, and changed in Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is the oldest known sea route. China's Maritime Silk Road is divided into two routes: the East China Sea route and the South China Sea route, with the South China Sea as the center.

The Maritime Silk Road extends all the way to East Africa and Europe. The South China Sea Silk Road starts from China, passes through Indochina Peninsula and South China Sea countries, crosses the Indian Ocean, enters the Red Sea, and reaches East Africa and Europe, passing through more than 65,438+000 countries and regions. It has become a major maritime channel for trade and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, which has promoted the common development of countries along the route.

Through the Maritime Silk Road, China also spread national crafts and Confucianism and Taoism, which had different degrees of influence on countries and regions along the Maritime Silk Road and all over Europe, and even set off a "China fever". Among them, porcelain and tea have a great influence on the world.

These beautiful characters show the rich and varied geo-culture, historical traditions and customs along the Silk Road in China. They connect the civilized corridors along the Silk Road and vividly show a civilized world that is being forgotten day by day.
