丝绸之路是汉代为加强国际间经济和文化的交流所建立的国际邮路,其延续至今达两千年之久,成为东西世界发生联系的大通道,也成为中国、印度、希腊三大文化交汇的桥梁。为维护保障其畅通,历代王朝都曾在沿途设置驿站馆舍,以接待来往官吏使节、军士驿卒僧侣客商等,也是中国古代驿路邮传的代表。 The Silk Road is an international postal route established by the Han Dynasty to enhance international economic and cultural exchanges. It has lasted for two thousand years and has become a major channel linking the East and the West as well as the meeting point of the three major cultural exchanges between China, India and Greece Bridge. In order to safeguard and ensure its smooth flow, successive dynasties set up postal arcades along the road to receive official envoys, sergeants and merchants, monks and merchants, and so on. It is also the representative of ancient postal post in China.
