Documents and other cultural objects unearthed from China's Mogao Grottoes, in northwest Gansu Province, provide evidence that Dunhuang was once a flourishing international trade city over 1,000 years ago. Dunhuang city was made a county during the Han Dynasty and gradually became one of the commercial cities along the ancient Silk Road, a trade route that connected China and Central Asia more than 2,000 years ago. By the Tang Dynasty and even earlier, more than 20 kinds of commodities such as silk products, iron tools, silver, jade and bamboo utensils, animal husbandry products, medicines, cosmetics were traded on local markets. It is estimated that Dunhuang had a population of over 30,000 at the time. In all, Dunhuang had the three features that an international trade city should have: commodities from different countries and regions; people of different nationalities, and currencies from various countries circulating on the local market. |
