Abstract
The Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD) played a pivotal role in the revival and expansion of the Silk Road, transforming it into a thriving economic and cultural artery. This paper examines the state-supported infrastructure that facilitated trade and cross-cultural interactions, fostering economic prosperity across Eurasia. The study explores how road networks, relay stations, and diplomatic missions strengthened commercial exchanges. Using historical and archaeological data, it highlights how Tang China's investments in logistics and security promoted urbanization, international trade, and religious diffusion. The findings contribute to understanding the Silk Road’s enduring impact on global economic history.
