Annotation
The article examines the role of the Silk Road in cultural exchange between the East and the West, with a focus on the influence of Sogdiana and its culture on China. The study explores cultural connections related to the spread of Buddhism, music, dance, and crafts, as well as the impact of Sogdian artisans on the development of Chinese art, including jewelry making and metalworking. The author analyzes archaeological and written sources that confirm the significant contribution of the Sogdians to Chinese culture, particularly during the Tang Dynasty. Special attention is given to dance and music traditions, which became an integral part of Chinese cultural life and a symbol of cultural integration along the Silk Road.
