The House of Flying Snow

The Silk Emporium of Fei Xue

Ni hao and welcome to this humble little house in my favourite city of Chang'an. Right here in Chang'an's Western Market is where the great Silk Road reaches its eastern end, and so I have decided this house will be an emporium for silks, and a repository for information about the Silk Road itself.

"The camels would be clustered in loose groups outside the city walls, the traders' camps a mixture of colorful tents, utensils, bags, and bundles. There would be cottons and exotic spices from India, metals and interesting ceramics, scrolls of paintings, and seeds. Above all, there would be silk; piles and cascades of silk in all colors and textures to take on the western journey after the present cargo had been sold. Inside the city of Chang'an the merchants would be getting ready to bargain to fill their stores with the latest imports. The Emperor's officials would usually take the best of the items, but there would be enough left to fill the homes of the wealthy and to filter into the rural areas to change life and expand it."
