During the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient.eu\/Silk\/\">Han Dynasty, <\/a>the  quality of silk improved dramatically, making it stronger and finer. It  soon became the main product for small farmers wanting to fill their  pockets. Chinese silk\u2019s glowing reputation reached many corners of the  ancient world.  Wearing a fine silk robe was the ultimate display of  wealth, before the age of Gucci flip flops. Due to the staggering value  of this product, the Dynasty kept production a secret in order to  monopolise the market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_it_worked\"><\/span>How it worked<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although disputed, many believe when the Han Dynasty opened trade \nwith the world in 130 B.C. Merchants along the Silk Road worked as cogs \nof the relay trade: an item would change owners many times for it to \narrive to the destination of the final buyer. Due to the enormous scale \nof this network, very few traders would complete an entire journey. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_did_the_Silk_Road_change_the_world\"><\/span>How did the Silk Road change the world?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This trade route was essential for migrants and travellers.&nbsp;It also \nhelped spread religion, philosophy, and technology.
