onto the roads

There are three different types of roads, both metaphorically and literally:silk roads, sand roads, and the sea roads. These "roads" were used around the areas of China, Europe, Africa. The Silk Road and Sand Roads are a more metaphorical name for a certain trade route. Sea Road is in fact a literal route because people did travel and trade through the sea/ oceans.

Through the different routes, different things were traded, gained, and lost. In China, silk, bamboo, paper contributed to china. In India, cotton textile, stones, spices are important.

In certain parts on these countries, diseases were spread as well.
