The Silk Road on the National Card: Just Like Rainbows over the Silk Road, the Stamps Are Messages of Friendship

Abstract

In the long history of human civilization, the Silk Road, with a history of over 2,000 years, is like a ribbon, dancing in the wind, constantly changing its direction of travel, emitting a long and mysterious echo like the sound of camel bells in the vast Gobi. The Silk Road began in Chang'an, the thousand-year-old imperial capital of the great eastern country of China. In the second half of the 19th century, a German named Richthofen discovered in his geographical survey that a mysterious and ancient international trade channel was hidden between Asia, Europe and Africa. With the change of time and years, it appeared and disappeared and showed great vitality. All this seems to have something to do with an ancient civilized country in the East. With this discovery, he came to China alone and investigated the ancient land for four years. Ultimately, he named this business road "the Silk Road".
