新德里，“丝绸之路”这个短语让人联想到一个浪漫的形象--一半是历史，一半是神话--帐篷骆驼大篷车蜿蜒穿过中亚无轨的沙漠和山脉。但丝绸之路不仅是传说中的过去的一部分，也是中国当前外交政策的一个重要特征。历史上的丝绸之路包括一条陆上和一条海上路线，这两条路线都促进了南亚和东亚的商品和思想的转移，从中国茶叶到纸、火药和指南针等发明，以及佛经和印度音乐等文化产品。同样，丝绸之路主要是陆上路线，也穿过阿拉伯世界到达欧洲，这让中国获得了印度的天文、植物和草药，同时也将其介绍给了佛教和伊斯兰信仰。由于中国海军上将郑和在15世纪初曾七次率领海军舰队横渡印度洋，中国锅成为印度西南部喀拉拉邦女性最喜欢的烹饪用具。中国渔网仍然散布在高知附近的水域。
NEW DELHI The phrase" Silk Road" evokes a romantic image half history, half myth of tented camel caravans winding their way across the trackless deserts and mountains of Central Asia. But the Silk Road is not just part of a fabled past; it is an important feature of China's current foreign policy. The historical Silk Road comprised an overland and a maritime route, both of which facilitated the transfer to Europe of South and East Asian goods and ideas, from Chinese tea to inventions like paper, gunpowder and the compass, as well as cultural products like Buddhist scripture and Indian music. Likewise, the Silk Road primarily the overland route, which also passed through the Arab world to Europe gave China access to Indian astronomy, plants and herbal medicines, while introducing it to the Buddhist and Islamic faiths. Thanks to Chinese Admiral Zheng He, who steered his naval fleet across the Indian Ocean seven times in the early fifteenth century, the Chinese wok became the favorite cooking vessel of women in the southwestern Indian state of Kerala.
