Features: Since the noblewomen of Rome wore transparent gauze, Europe has been yearning for China. The exchange with distant peoples, foreign wonders and curiosities, and the stories of travelers who returned from inaccessible regions all fueled the prosperity of legends and tales. The Silk Road is called the road of myths and legends because, along with the goods, copies were produced on this road. These copies carried faith, the carriers of faith, manuscripts, maps, artworks, luxurious items, and more.
