The Silk Road was a historical network of trade routes that connected China and the Mediterranean Sea,allowing cultural and economic interaction between the East and the West. Begun in the 2nd Century B C” the Silk Road carried goods,ideas, and even illness for thousands of miles between great civilizations for more than a thousand years. 1. It was the creation of Germany’s Ferdinand von Richthofen, who traveled to China several times in the second half of the 19th Century.
China’s powerful Han Dynasty began expanding its trade routes towards the West in the years around 100 B.C. 2. Some shipments made it through to Europe and to northern and eastern Africa, through the port of Alexandria.
As its name suggests, the Silk Road was home to large amount of silk, which made its way from China to the Mediterranean and,to Rome. It wasn’t only silk,however, that was carried along the Silk Road 3. Chinese traders brought delicate porcelain plates and thin but durable paper money. Romans brought delicately carved pottery (陶器)and jewelry to China.
4. Merchants carried shipments from major center, and then others carried the foods farther on the route. Many merchants traveled in groups, called carvans (商队). Many carvans and individual merchants traveled with bodyguards because theft along the routes was not uncommon.
Several cities along the Silk Road became major trading centers. Some of the more famous of these were Alexandria,Karakorum, Antioch,Constantinople, and Persepolis. Local taxes placed on goods traveling along the route were quite common. 5.
A. The name,however,is a modem idea.
B. Diseases also spread along the Silk Road.
C. It sent silk and other goods to other civilizations.

E. Goods did not travel with the same person all along the route.
F. As a result, many goods traveled only part of the way due to the high cost
G. Many other things made their way from the East to the West, or from the West to the East.
Craft (手工艺)is becoming a heritage industry — but a record of disappearing skills might just come in handy in the future.
Mr. Lobb (of John Lobb the bootmaker) mentioned that custom clothing and shoe-making were once the norm for everyone. How come,then,today a pair of normal Lobbs would set you back over £2,000? The price has obviously gone up because of lack of competition and higher wages,but would custom clothing once again be affordable to all if the demand was there? Do we just wave goodbye to these skills,or should we fight to maintain them?
The disposable (一次性的)culture we “enjoy” today has existed in our life for almost two generations now. We like our products to be made by either a robot or invisible,cheap hands so that we can accumulate them cheaply and frequently. The concept of “craft” is something that’s now largely considered to be strange,and seems to be limited to museums and dusty, independent shops. Hobby crafts such as knitting do undergo revivals (复兴)from time to time,but I think that’s because they are seen as short-lived fashionable leisure pursuits rather than a craft worthy of revivals on a commercially feasible (可行的)scale.
To drive a revival in any of these crafts, you would probably need to apply the same marketing techniques that are used to sell any other items today. The consumer must believe that they just have to have it. If they don't have it now, it will either go up in price or go out of fashion --- both reasons enough in themselves for a shopper to act.
But does it finally matter if these skills will no longer serve any practicable use in the decades to come? I don’t know the answer to that,but I have long thought it would be a good idea if we “banked” these skills somehow,just as we are not attempting to do with seeds. You just never know whether we’ll need them in the future. Maybe it’s time to establish a worldwide network of volunteers to record,through the written words and videos,as many of these dying skills as possible. Actually, a rough look on YouTube fills me with hope that an army of willing volunteers is probably out there already and just needs someone or something to gather them together.
