| 解説 | The ’Silk Road’ is a household name， which attached China with Western Regions. The historical context of the Silk Road recalls the story of the massive diplomatic events concerning cultural and trade between Western Regions pioneered by Han dynasty diplomat Zhang Qian (died c. 114BC). The route started at Chang’an city， through Hexi Corridor， arrived at Dunhuang. The route split into two， the southern went pass Kroraina， Khotan， and Yarkant， then went over the Pamir Mountains till Greater Yueh-Chih and Parthian Empire， finally arrived Seleucid Empire and Roman Empire. The western route started from Yarkhoto， Kucha， and Shule， over the Pamir Mountains， and passing Parthian till Roman Empire. The exotic sound of flute from the beginning shows the magnificence of the ancient realm. Afterward emerges the mysterious style of the Persian Empire. The pentatonic scale is presented at the end of the music， implied the nostalgic feeling of returning to China. The acoustic， melody， and rhythm remind audiences’ exotic fantasy of the journey， revealing the mysterious appearance of the road across Eurasia. |
