1. Before Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, the traffic between the Central Plains and the Western Regions was almost completely cut off. The Western Regions are completely unfamiliar to China, full of mystery and unknowns. Due to the ignorance of the western regions, the control and jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty over the western regions was also very limited.
2. Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions changed this situation. He led the mission across the Western Regions, experienced numerous hardships and tests, and finally successfully reached Dayue and other countries in the Western Regions. Through this mission, Zhang Qian not only learned about the local customs, geographical environment, political economy and other aspects of information, but also got to know many western countries and established friendly relations with them.
3. During Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, he successfully opened the communication line between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. The opening of this traffic line makes the trade and cultural exchanges between the two sides more convenient and frequent. With the passage of time, the exchanges between the Central Plains and the Western Regions have become closer and closer, and a prosperous Silk Road trade network has gradually formed.
