@pd th 128BCE ketika Zhang Qian di Bactria dia melihat barang2 dagangan dr Cina spt tekstil, bamboo articles [barang] dijual di sana. Barang2 tsb datang dr southwest China & masuk lewat Bengal.

Melalui jalu ini Cina jg fostered the spread of cultural, religious, & political traditions to distant regions, & they encouraged the construction of institutional frameworks that promoted the long-term survival of those traditions [p.157]

==>Long-distance trade passed through much of
Eurasia and north Africa, from China to the Mediterranean basin, & to parts of sub-Saharan Africa as well.That long-distance trade profoundly [mendlm] influenced the experiences of peoples & the development of societies throughout the eastern hemisphere
==>Long-distance trade thus had deep political, social, & cultural as well as economic & commercial implications for classical societies [p.158]

@Jalur laut SILK ROUTE
==>The silk roads also included a network of sea lanes that sustained maritime commerce throughout much of the eastern hemisphere. From Guangzhou in southern China, sea lanes through the South China Sea linked the east Asian seaboard to the mainland & the islands of southeast Asia. Routes linking southeast Asia with Ceylon (modern Sri Lanka) & India were especially busy during classical times. From India, sea lanes passed through the Arabian Sea to Persia and Arabia, & through the Persian Gulf & the Red Sea they offered access to land routes & the Mediterranean basin, which already possessed a well-developed network of trade routes [p.159]

@Barang2 yg diperdagangkan di SILK ROUTE adl silk & spices traveled west from producers in SE.Asia to Asia, China & India to consumers in central Asia, Iran, Arabia & Roman empire. Silk came mostly from China, & the fine spices—cloves, nutmeg, mace, & cardamom—all came from southeast Asia. Ginger came from China, cinnamon from China & southeast Asia, pepper from India, and sesame oil from India, Arabia, and southwest Asia. Spices were extremely important commodities in classical
times because they had many more uses than they do in the modern world. They served not only as condiments & flavoring agents but also as drugs, anesthetics, aphrodisiacs, perfumes, aromatics, & magical potions. For the silk & spices they imported, western lands exchanged a variety of manufactured goods & other commodities, including horses & jade from central Asia & glassware, jewelry, textiles, & pottery from the Roman empire [p.160]
