About ancient road

Ancient roads refer to traditional roads with a long history and are important transportation channels in ancient times. In the contemporary context, they specifically refer to ancient trade channels and transportation arteries. It is not only a trade route and military artery connecting different regions, but also has a long history of development and use. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Chencang Ancient Road and Baoxie Road between Sichuan and Shaanxi were formed. After the unification of Qin Shihuang, the National Chi Road and Xiaohe Ancient Road were built to enter the mountain range. It was officially opened in the Han Dynasty. Through the Silk Road, the overland Silk Road reached its peak in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and ancient trade routes such as the Tea Horse Road and Zhangku Avenue emerged from the Song to the Qing Dynasties.
