An Introduction how the Silkroad harbours and depots were supplied and accessed from within China
The Silkroad is traditionally described as ending in Chang’an for the inland route or the Southern Chinese harbours for the Maritime Searoute. But how did the traded material reach these points or go from there to the Imperial residences and the large interior cities? This course will look at the history of Chinese interior transport and travel from rivers like the Yangtse and the Yellow River to man-made infrastructure like the Grand Canal or the large North-South-Roads from the Han to the beginning of the Qing period.
Please note all lectures will be recorded and distributed to the participants at the beginning of the next week. This should allow participants from different time zones, or those working catching up with the lectures.
