The "Silk Road on the Sea" is the first seafaring route in China's history.

海上丝绸之路是中国历史上的第一条远洋航线，是中国航海史的开端，也是世界上最早的海外贸易。

Such feelings arose inside of me when I viewed the thousand-year old murals on the wall at the Kizil Thousand-Buddha Grottoes in Xinjiang, where I was investigating New Hole, the important passage to the Silk Road. On stepping into the cave, I felt a Buddha world before me, with time flashing backward. In a trance, my spirit flew away from my body. My foreordination made its presence before me. When leaving New Hole, I took a last glimpse of the Buddha, who looked so aloft in sedateness, with his eyelids always half drooping. The Buddha's bearing is completely different from that of human beings.

多年以前，我在丝绸之路的重要通道新疆阿克苏克孜尔千佛洞新一窟考察时，面对墙壁上的千年壁画就产生过这样的感觉，当一踏进洞口，仿佛时光倒流，走进了佛禅世界，恍惚间，人好象精神与躯体分离了，展现在眼前的仿佛就是自己的宿命。，当迈出佛窟，不自觉地回神再望一下，佛一直半垂着眼帘，神态安详，超然无我，人与佛竟然两种神态。

Somewhere on the fringe of this unlovely town lay the ruined caravan-city of Merv, lodestar of the Silk Road for two thousand years, and capital of the gifted and tragic Seljuk Turks: a rich city, sometimes cultivated and benignly powerful, which had nurtured its heterogeneous citizens in a common passion for trade.

在这个丑陋的城镇边缘的某个地方，坐落着已沦为废墟的驿站城市——莫夫城，它作为丝绸之路的一颗明珠已有2000年的历史了，而且是拥有天赋、命运悲惨的塞尔柱突厥人的都城：一座富裕的城市，在某段时间里曾拥有过文明并且恃强而不凌弱，城中生活着对贸易有着同样激情的各族居民。
