However, with the deepening of academic research and the progress of archaeological excavations, the Meaning of the Silk Road has become wider and wider. Indeed, the Silk Road existed between China and the West as early as before the Han Dynasty. It was not limited to China, Central Asia and South Asia, but also included West Asia, the Mediterranean region and the Korean Peninsula, Japan and Southeast Asia connected by the Maritime Silk Road. Not only silk was traded, but also various handicrafts, plants, animals, art works, etc. The Silk Road was just like the extended silk, with some clear routes and some intermittent ones.
