WATCH: Rebuilding the Silk Road
The Han Dynasty’s management of the Silk Road helped link together smaller regional networks and support trade across Asia. But when the Han Dynasty fell, the Silk Road did not collapse. Many of the traders at the time came from Central Asia and operated in smaller circuits, and other empires stepped in to provide stability until the Tang Dynasty, when Chinese imperial power recovered and a golden age was launched.
