When the great silky road appeared.

The first camel caravan with a load of silk and bronze mirrors set off in 121 BC. e. He followed from China to the Fergana oasis. Long work preceded such actions. It began in 138 BC. e. with the search for allies in the struggle against the Xiongnu people. During this quest, Zhang Qian came a long way and established connections with other peoples. He realized that trade would be beneficial to all parties. Fine Arab horses could be delivered to China. In 117 BC. e. the caravan was already much larger. This is how the Great Silk Road was born.
