The westward movement of the ancient Silk Road evolved over many centuries since the Han Dynasty. Afterward, it reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty with the increased exchange of goods and knowledge. The latter was gradually developed in search of both religious and spiritual knowledge by sending imperial missions and cultural exchanges between China and India, the Middle East, and Western Asia through the Silk Road. Spiritual-seeking monks in Buddhist, Confucian, and Daoist traditions were enriched in their own traditions and religious knowledge with their mutual encounters among themselves. Traveling merchants became benefactors (施主) of the temples of worship by sharing their wealth and then attaining merits and blessings from
monks and divine force. Thus, the vibrant Chinese civilization was further augmented by interacting with distant Babylonian, Egyptian, Indian, and Persian civilizations.
