Abstract

The Silk Road is not only a political, economic and cultural artery between the east and the West Asia, but also a mode of communication and blending of religious culture. Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism in India, Zoroastrianism in Persia, Nestorianism, Manichaeism, Islam in West Asia, Judaism in Israel, and Christianity and Catholicism in Europe all converge here. Therefore, the Silk Road is also called "The Religious Road" and "The Faith Road”. Money, as a medium of communication and exchange of goods and materials on the Silk Road, has the clearest expression and reflection. The study shows that the various currencies in circulation on the Silk Road are not only the material evidence of the history, but also the window of spreading religion and culture.
