1. What ideas or goods did China give the ancient world?
Chinese people gave silk, paper, and pottery. Silk was important because during that time, China was the only country that could’ve produced silk. At the time of 105 B.C., inexpensive paper was made by the mixture of old rags, tree barks, and fibers from the hemp plant. The invention of paper helped the Chinese to develop their recording system. Before paper was invented, books were made of costly silk. The Chinese spread Buddhism to Korea, and Japan. The Buddhism had influenced Korea and Japan a lot.
2. What economic changes did the Silk Roads bring to China?
Silk was important because by Han Dynasty, China was the only country that could’ve made silk. Silk was beautiful and long lasting. If they traded silk, they could’ve received gold and silver. Gold and silver were important because China had no deposit at all of silver and gold. At one time, one pound of silk and one pound of gold became equivalent.

3. How did the Silk Roads aid in the spread of Buddhism? The silk roads helped Buddhism spread too many countries, like Japan, China, and Korea. It spread by cultural diffusion. They did this by putting Buddhist missionaries into the silk route. 4. Why were most of the early Chinese inventions related to agriculture? There was a lot of people who need food. This caused the Chinese to make new inventions in farming like plow, farm tool, collar harness, wheel barrow, water mill. Water mill was to grind grain. Gkv  |
