The Silk Road or Silk Route refers to a historical network of interlinking trade routes across the Afro-Eurasian landmass that connected East, South, and Western Asia with the Mediterranean and European world, as well as parts of North and East Africa. The land routes were supplemented by sea routes, which extended from the Red Sea to coastal India, China and Southeast Asia.Extending 4,000 miles (6,500 km), the Silk Road gets its name from the lucrative Chinese silk trade along it, which began during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE). The central Asian sections of the trade routes were expanded around 114 BCE by the Han dynasty,[1] largely through the missions and explorations of Zhang Qian,[2] but earlier trade routes across the continents already existed. In the late Middle Ages, transcontinental trade over the land routes of the Silk Road declined as sea trade increased,.[3] In recent years, both the maritime and overland Silk Routes are again being used, often closely following the ancient routes.Supplies and reinforcements are transported along the line of communication.

Rice traveled along the Silk Road primarily from its origins in China, where it was cultivated for thousands of years. As trade routes expanded, rice made its way to Central Asia, the Middle East, and eventually to regions in Europe and Africa.
