The Silk Road

Introduction

 This is a trade thoroughfare that links Asia and Europe in the past dynasties.This is

an important bridge that promotes the economic and cultural exchanges.This is a thoroughfare that owns treasure trove of historic sites. The Silk Roadrefers to theancient trade route connecting Asia Continent and

European Continent,usually it can be claified into Northern Silk Road on the land，Southern Silk Road on the land and the Silk Road on the sea.(Transition: For a very long period in history, there were many famous stories related to the road, e.g.zhangQian, who was sent by Emperor Wudi of Han to the western regions;Eminent Monk Xuan Zang, who made a journey to the west in search of Buddhist scriptures)

Body

 The silk road dates back to the second century B.C when ZhangQian, a Chinese

official and envoy of the royal court, embarked on his busine trip to Xiyu(meaning western countries)

 Originating from Chang’an(the present-day Xi’an), the route traversed Shaanxi

Province, the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province, the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, the Parim mountain region, Afghanistan, Iran, Irap and Syria, ending at the eastern shores of the Mediterranean.More than 4000 of its 7000 kilometers were in China. For over a thousand years up till the 15th century, China brought its silk cloths and

goods, gunpowder, and paper making and printing techniques to the west via this road.This road, in return, introduced into China Buddhism and Islam as well as grapes, walnuts, pomegranates, cucumbers, gla, perfume and other products from the outside world.(Transition: After saying so much, I want to ask you a question: Why it is called the Silk Road, not the ……….road?)

 Because among all the goods which were in exchange through the road, the China’s

silk is the most typical one.(Why it is so typical?)

 It is a symbol of the prosperity of civilization of East Asia.So European scholars

came to call it the “silk road”.Conclusion

 I’m very proud not only because a wealth of historical relics and interesting local

cultures along the part of the Silk Road in China, but also because the active role we Chinese played in developing this road.I’m very proud not only because such a great history my country enjoys but also because the initiative spirit we are born with.I’m very proud of being a Chinese. I hope you will understand and appreciate how brave and hardworking we Chinese

are, as well as how marvelous the road it is.Let’s join together to contribute to the communication all over the world just as our ancestors did.
