On the role and value of the Silk Road in today's society.

The cultural heritage on the ancient Silk Road is an important link for China to promote the "Belt and Road" construction, jointly build the "Belt and Road" with countries along the route, and promote the communication of people's hearts, cultural identity and emotional and spiritual exchanges among different regions, nationalities and countries. Openness, tolerance, equal dialogue, mutual learning and mutual benefit are the ways of cooperation and exchange between different cultures and different development models in the world today.

There are many harmonious and tolerant genes in Chinese civilization, seeking common ground while reserving differences. Ancient thinkers in China believed that although everything is different in thousands ways, through proper adjustment, balance and harmony can be achieved and things can develop and change.

Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has accepted and borrowed from other cultures with an open mind, and respected and tolerated different cultural differences with the concept of harmony but difference. Under the background of economic globalization and multi-polarization of the world, we must actively carry out communication and dialogue among civilizations with the sincere will of communication and cooperation, find the correct voices of all parties, learn from each other and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

Historical background

The precious relics on the Silk Road reflect the long history of multi-ethnic cultural interaction and exchange, and truly record the close ties and cultural integration of all ethnic groups along the route. The production, science and technology of sericulture, iron smelting, sinking and papermaking in ancient China were all spread to Central Asia and Europe from the Silk Road.

These advanced technologies at that time were undoubtedly of great significance to the promotion and improvement of productivity along the route and the development and progress of social culture. Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and brought back some species that were not found in the Central Plains, among which grapes and alfalfa were the most famous. Later, some crops with or without the word "Hu" were transported from the Silk Road to China.

After thousands of years of cultivation and propagation, these species have become an important part of agricultural crops in China. Religion, music, dance, painting, sculpture, acrobatics and other Chinese and western cultures spread from west to east, becoming a grand view.
