Guangzhou is known as the birthplace of maritime silk.

Guangzhou, the birthplace of maritime silk, is known as the Maritime Spice Road.

Maritime Silk Road, also known as "Maritime Ceramics Road" and "Maritime Spices Road", was first proposed by French orientalist Shasha in 19 13. The Maritime Silk Road sprouted in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, developed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, formed in Qin and Han Dynasties, flourished in Tang and Song Dynasties, and changed in Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is the oldest known sea route. China's Maritime Silk Road is divided into two routes: the East China Sea route and the South China Sea route, with the South China Sea as the center.

The South China Sea Route, also known as the South China Sea Silk Road, mainly starts from Guangzhou and Quanzhou. In the pre-Qin period, Lingnan ancestors opened a trade circle with ceramics as a link in the South China Sea and even the South Pacific coast and its islands. Guangzhou's "Sea Island" in Tang Dynasty was the earliest name of China's Maritime Silk Road and the longest ocean route in the world at that time.

Modern development

Since the opening of the Maritime Silk Road in the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has been an important bridge to communicate the economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West. Southeast Asia has been an important hub and component of the Maritime Silk Road since ancient times. Take history as a mirror, and focus on the anniversary of the establishment of strategic partnership between China and ASEAN 10, so as to further deepen the cooperation between China and ASEAN. Build a closer community of destiny and put forward the strategic concept of "2 1 Century Maritime Silk Road" for the benefit of both sides and even the people in the region.

2 1 Century Maritime Silk Road's strategic partners are not limited to ASEAN, but point-to-line, line-to-surface, enhancing exchanges with border countries and regions, and stringing together market chains connecting major economic sectors such as ASEAN, South Asia, West Asia, North Africa and Europe. Develop a strategic cooperative economic belt for the South China Sea, the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, with the long-term goal of Asia-Europe-Africa economic and trade integration. As ASEAN is located at the crossroads of the Maritime Silk Road, it will be the primary development goal of Hayes' new strategy.
