5. Religions/Gods

Each dynasty had their own shamans that have prayers, sacrifices and offerings, which were used to communicate to the spiritual world.

The main traders, selling their own souvenirs and items were the Chinese, Persians, Somalis, Greeks, Syrians, Romans, Armenians, Indians and Bactrians and from the 5th to the 8th century, the Sogdians. People believe this is how religions such as Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Buddhism, Manichaeism and Islam spread across the trade networks. They also believed that people found out about new art styles as well.

Printing was also invented in the Han dynasty. There were two techniques, woodblock printing and moveable type of printing. People would print by individual sheets of paper were pressed into wooden blocks with the writing
