More than 140 years BC in the Han Dynasty of China, a peace mission from Chang'an, began to open up the road from the east to the west, this is the famous Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, China's Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, the land and maritime Silk Road developed simultaneously, China, Italy, Moroccan travelers Du Huan, Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta all left a historical mark on the land and maritime Silk Road.

In the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the 15th century, the famous Chinese navigator Zheng He made seven voyages, leaving behind a story for the ages, and generation after generation of pioneers built a bond of cooperation between the East and the West, a bridge of peace.

The land Silk Road across Europe and Asia and the maritime Silk Road connecting Asia and Africa were gradually formed in the long process of historical development, and ancient sages such as Zhang Qian, Ban Chao, Xuanzang, Zheng He, and Marco Polo made important contributions to the development and construction of these two major channels of human civilization exchange. In 2013, the major initiative of jointly building the "Silk Road Economic Belt" and the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road" was proposed, which is the outstanding wisdom of the Chinese people to continue the glorious history of the Silk Road and strive to create a brilliant future.

The traditional Silk Road, starting from Chang'an, the ancient capital of China, reaches the Mediterranean Sea through Central Asian countries, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, etc., and ends in Rome, with a total length of 6,440 kilometers. This road is considered to be the intersection of ancient Eastern and Western civilizations connecting Eurasia, and silk is the most representative cargo. For thousands of years, nomads or tribes, traders, believers, diplomats, soldiers, and scholars traveled along the Silk Roads.

With the development of the times, the Silk Road has become a collective name for all political, economic and cultural exchanges between ancient China and the West. There is the Northwest Silk Road, the official passage of the Western Regions opened by Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty, the Steppe Silk Road that runs north to the Mongolian Plateau and then goes west to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains into Central Asia, the Southwest Silk Road with rugged mountain roads from Chang'an to Chengdu and then to India, and the Maritime Silk Road that starts from coastal cities such as Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou, and travels from the South Seas to the Arabian Sea, and even as far as the east coast of Africa.

"The Belt and Road" economic belt construction initiative is a grand strategy put forward by China at the national level, as a socialist country with a population of 1.3 billion, the world's second largest GDP, and the world's first economic growth rate, the "Belt and Road" has long become a worldwide topic, and has received great attention from the international community, but the people in many parts of China have not yet had a clear and thorough understanding of the "Belt and Road" national strategy, so that the people know the "Belt and Road" It will bring us great changes, and it is related to the fate and future development of everyone.

The world pattern is undergoing complex and profound changes, the trend of multipolarization is more obvious, the multipolar pattern composed of the major industrial countries of the West that has lasted for two centuries is about to be broken by the multipolar pattern composed of emerging market and developing economies and developed countries, and in the next 10 to 20 years, the world's top 10 economies, traditional industrial powers and emerging market economies will each account for half of the country.

Among them, China and the United States will be comparable in size and far ahead of the second echelon, and the game between developed and developing countries, the developed world and the developing world will require wisdom.

How China rises has become an important variable affecting regional and world peace and development, in this situation, it is necessary to formulate the "Belt and Road" national strategy, East Asia has jointly created a situation of peace and prosperity, all countries should take a long-term view, cherish the hard-won happy life, unity and mutual trust, equality and mutual benefit, inclusiveness and mutual learning, win-win cooperation, countries of different races, different beliefs and different cultural backgrounds can share peace, share opportunities, meet challenges, develop and prosper together.

Mankind has only one earth, all countries live in one world, and the international community is increasingly becoming a community with a shared future.

Today's world is facing major changes unseen in a century, with irreversible trends of political multipolarization, economic globalization, cultural diversification, and social informatization, and deepening ties and interdependence among countries, but also facing many common challenges.

Food security, resource shortages, climate change, cyber attacks, population explosions, environmental pollution, disease epidemics, transnational crimes and other non-traditional global security issues have emerged one after another, posing severe challenges to the international order and the survival of mankind. No matter what country people are in, what their beliefs are, or whether they want to or not, they are actually in a community with a shared future. Global values aimed at addressing the common challenges of humanity have begun to take shape and are gradually gaining international consensus.

In the face of profound changes in the world pattern, the "Belt and Road" is a new idea, new way and new platform to promote global win-win cooperation and common development, and is a Chinese plan and Chinese wisdom to improve the global governance system and build a community with a shared future for mankind.
