　　Ancient maritime trade routes are equal and mutually beneficial

mobile bet365 has many names in Chinese classics，If the journey is over and the country is gone、Lion Kingdom、Shizi Kingdom、Sinhala、Sangkara、Lengjia、Ceylon, etc.。mobile bet365 is an important node connecting East and West sea transportation。"Hanshu Geography" records China and Southeast Asia、Navigation traffic situation in South Asian countries，"There is progress in the south of the Yellow Branch, but there is no country，The Chinese translator has returned from now on”。Ji Cheng Bu Guo is the earliest name for mobile bet365 in Chinese literature。This is the first record of the Maritime Silk Road in official history。The expansion of the Maritime Silk Road to mobile bet365 coincided with Zhang Qian’s passage to the Western Regions。

Two Jin Dynasties，The Maritime Silk Road has further developed。"Fa Xian Zhuan" (also known as "Buddha Kingdom") contains，“I have obtained this Brahma text，A ship carrying merchants，There are more than two hundred people on board”。At the beginning of the 5th century, mobile bet365 had merchant ships that could accommodate hundreds of people sailing long distances，Indicates the development of sea trade and the maturity of commercial routes between China and mobile bet365 at that time。The Maritime Silk Road developed more prosperously during the Tang and Song Dynasties。Guangzhou is an important starting point of the Maritime Silk Road，It has become an international city where Han and Tibetan people live together。The development scale of sea trade in the Tang Dynasty far exceeded that of the Han and Jin Dynasties when the Maritime Silk Road began，mobile bet365’s importance has become more prominent with the prosperity of the Silk Road。There are increasing records of Sino-Sri Lankan exchanges in Chinese books，Including official courtesy exchanges、Private business exchanges and trade and cultural activities in the name of tribute, etc.。Mutual benefits and complementarity、The exchange of needed and needed trade activities promoted the prosperity of the Silk Road，It also promoted the spread of navigation technology and geographical knowledge，China and mobile bet365 are undoubtedly the beneficiaries of the Maritime Silk Road。
