The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes, which connected East and Southeast Asia with Africa, West Asia and Europe. The Silk Road began during the Han dynasty, mainly to expand the trade of silk, which was only produced in China. However, it reached its splendour during the Tang dynasty.
