Answer:

The Silk Road of ancient China is an example of cultural diffusion occurring at a result of a trade. Although the route began in about 138 B.C. as a means for China to export silk fabric -- a rare and valuable commodity -- trade along the Silk Road greatly promoted the exchange of products, ideas and practices between Oriental and Western civilizations.

Silk Road, also called Silk Route, ancient trade route, linking China with the West, that carried goods and ideas between the two great civilizations of Rome and China.
