"The Silk Road cut across borders - and broke down the borders in our minds," says Dr Sam Willis. In a new three-part series for BBC Four, the historian and writer traces the story of the most famous trade route in history.This was the Silk Road which ran from China’s ancient capital Xian through the mythical cities of Central Asia and Persia, until it reached the bazaars of Istanbul and the markets of Venice. It was in Venice and other Italian cities that the ideas, inventions and products that trickled down the Silk Road ignited.They formed - in part - a movement which we call ‘the Renaissance’ - an explosion of new thinking, new art and new inventions. Covering a distance of 5,000 miles and crossing some of the most dramatic landscapes on the planet, Dr Sam Willis reveals how the Silk Road was more than a market place: it was the world's first transcontinental superhighway, along which people with new ideas, new cultures and new religions made exchanges that shaped the development of humanity.

“丝绸之路跨越国界，打破了我们心中的国界，”萨姆·威利斯博士说。在英国广播公司第四频道的一个新的三集系列节目中，这位历史学家和作家讲述了历史上最著名的贸易路线的故事，这条丝绸之路从中国古都西安穿过中亚和波斯的神话城市，一直延伸到伊斯坦布尔的集市和威尼斯的市场。正是在威尼斯和其他意大利城市，沿着丝绸之路流淌的思想、发明和产品被点燃，它们在一定程度上形成了一场运动，我们称之为“文艺复兴”——一场新思想、新艺术和新发明的爆发。萨姆·威利斯博士跨越5000英里的距离，穿越地球上最具戏剧性的景观，揭示了丝绸之路不仅仅是一个市场：它是世界上第一条横贯大陆的高速公路，有着新思想、新文化和新宗教的人们沿着它进行交流，塑造了人类的发展。
