In this paper, I want to examine the origin and locate the 21st century Maritime Silk Road in the course of Chinese history. The reason for doing so is the relationship between the 21st century Maritime Silk Road and ancient Silk Road and the Grand Canal system (digging canal). On that basis, we pointed out the inheritance and continuation as well as the scale, structure and functions of the new Silk Road system, with the system of ancient Silk Road and the Grand Canal system, particularly we examine the its relations and policies of the Chinese emperors through the creation of this system of Silk Road. Also, we can conclude about the real intentions of China today in the building of the new Silk Road system. Historical documents and historical consciousness allows us to analyze in contrary with the literary meaning of its name, the characteristics of Silk Road. In fact, it is the way of politics, invasion and expansion path of Chinese territory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
