| 英文简介 |
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the cultural and material exchanges among the major civilizations along the Silk Road. It covers the period between the 2nd and the 15th centuries CE, during which the forces wielded by the Persians, the Chinese, The Greeks, the Indians, the Arabs and the Mongols shaped the geopolitical landscape of the vast region that spreads from the Caspian Sea to the Gobi Desert. Students will explore the role of the Silk Road in the formation of the religious and ethnic identities of these civilizations, as well as their perceptions towards one other. Through the study of refreshing and up-to-date visual and course readings, the students will explore crosscultural phenomenon such as Sogdian burial practice, Arab accounts of Tang China, Nestorian Christianity at the Mongol court, and influence of Marco Polo in the Latin West. The course will begin and conclude with discussion of the contemporary significance of the Silk Road as a historical category.
