During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the eastern civilization was unparalleled in the world, the western regions were uncivilized and controlled by barbarian dogs, and the western society was in the era of slave ignorance (it was wrong to try to beautify and publicize the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations after modern Britain became an upstart, in fact, many of them were wrong), and there was no economic and trade exchanges between the East and the West. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, silk was still used by nobles and royalty, and ordinary literati were not qualified to wear it. Of course, it will not become a commodity in large-scale circulation. The Silk Road, specifically, was the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, the Great Han Dynasty "recuperated" through Huang Lao, with prosperous materials and developed trade, and Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions (now Xinjiang and Central and Western Asia); After Wei Qing and Huo Qubing defeated the barbarians and set up detention centers under the central government in the western regions, the trade between the East and the West was opened, and the idea of the Silk Road came into being.
