And then it ends in Eastern Europe, near the Mediterranean Sea(地中海). The Silk Road is about 6,500 kilometers long. It goes across one-fourth of the planet. In fact, there is another trade road which is called the “Silk Road on the Sea” in the southwest of China.（84）The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world.

The Four Great Inventions of China was introduced to the West and Chinese also knew about the religions of the West. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.
