▲It is well known that① Africa had contacts with② India and the Red Sea civilizations from the earliest times. Silk from China found its way③ over land along the Silk Road to India, the Middle East and Rome, in exchange④ for spices and glass, which was not known to China. Silk was also traded along the coasts of the IndiaOcean. Ceylon,⑤withits central position, was the place where Chinese merchants met with Arab merchants and heard about the westernmost lands. Thus, people of the Han Dynasty knew about Africa and had books with description of the kingdoms on the African coast and the Red Sea. In 97 AD, Gan Ying, a Chinese ambassador went to the East Roman Empire over land and returned to Luoyang with a present from an African king-- rhinoceros horns. 眾所周知，很早很早以前，非洲就與印度和紅海文明有聯系。中國的絲綢沿絲綢之路運往印度、中東和羅馬去交換香料和玻璃——這些是在中國根本沒人知道的東西。沿印度洋海岸也有絲綢貿易。錫蘭，憑借其中心位置，成為中國商人會見阿拉伯商人和了解最西方國家的地方。因此，漢朝人了解非洲并且有書籍描述了紅海和非洲沿岸國家的情況。公元97年，甘英，一位中國大使，從陸路到了東羅馬并且把一位非洲國王所贈的禮物一犀牛角帶回到洛陽。
