The Silk Road was a 6,440-kilometer trade route that connected the Mediterranean countries to Central and West Asia, starting from Xi'an and passing through Gansu Province to Xinjiang, where Zhang Qian was sent as an envoy. It was an important window for China's foreign trade during the Han Dynasty. Not only has it been an important channel for the exchange of ideas and goods for nearly two thousand years, but it also represents the history and culture of different societies. This era also commemorates the social and cultural exchanges between East and West. Xi'an, which has a deep connection with the Silk Road, is the starting point of the Silk Road. In the context of the national strategy of the Belt and Road Initiative, it is of great significance to integrate the Silk Road culture into the public art design of Xi'an Metro. This article analyzes this and lays a good foundation for the integration of Xi'an Metro public art design and Silk Road culture.
