The repository for my scrolls relating to the history of silk and the Silk Road.


The Silk Road was an interconnected series of routes through Southern Asia traversed by caravan and ocean vessel, and extended over 8,000 km (5,000 miles) to connect Chang'an, China, with Antioch, Asia Minor, as well as other points. As the eastern terminus of the Silk Road, Chang'an became a bridge between Asia and Europe. The Road led into city through the wide Jingyuang Gate, straight into the walled Western Market.

My home, the House of Flying Snow, is located in the Western Market District of Chang'an, and will be the repository for my scrolls relating to the history of silk and the Silk Road.
