        The Maritime Silk Road/海上丝绸之路

        by State Administration of Cultural Heritage/

        Maritime Silk Road, also called as “China Road”, is an extension of its overland counterpart. Along the road, large quantities of custom-made chinaware were sold and transported to Europe, including, among others, blue-and-white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty that catered to Islamic love of “white and blue”. The Maritime Silk Road reached its peak in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, gold and silver as well as copper coin were brought by the maritime businessmen to overseas and there became means of payment, and ancient Chinese coins have been found as far as in India and Arabic nations.
