Yes, Zhang Qian's expeditions in the 2nd century BCE were instrumental in establishing trade routes that connected China with the East, particularly the Silk Road. His journeys helped forge alliances and opened up pathways for trade between China and Central Asia, facilitating the exchange of goods, culture, and ideas. These routes not only enhanced economic interactions but also played a crucial role in the spread of Buddhism and other cultural influences across regions.
