Question

Give 3 examples of cultural diffusion along the silk road and explain all three.

Answer 1

The Silk Road of ancient China is an example of cultural diffusion occurring at a result of a trade. Although the route began in about 138 B.C. as a means for China to export silk fabric -- a rare and valuable commodity -- trade along the Silk Road greatly promoted the exchange of products, ideas and practices between Oriental and Western civilizations.
