In ancient times, mountains, rivers, deserts, seas...Human beings are often confined to a relatively closed geographical environment, but it has never been able to block the deep desire of the human heart: communication.
Once there was a road that crossed mountains and deserts, broke through geographical constraints, and connected ancient China, neighboring countries and the West. Caravans of silk, porcelain, wool, and jade came and went with the sound of camel bells. Chasing dreams, monks, emissaries on the road. This road has become a major channel for commercial and cultural exchanges between the East and the West.
This route was once the most representative of China's exports of silk, known as the Silk Road. Despite its name, the Silk Road has not only exchanged silk and silk weaving skills, but also served as a major channel for cultural exchanges between the East and the West. In this way, we can exchange materials and commodities, and technology and culture. These commodities and technologies form the main content of mutual learning along the Silk Road.
The purpose of this exhibition is to tell the story of mutual learning along the Silk Road through cultural relics. The exhibits here are carefully selected from nearly 20 cultural and museological institutions in China. Each set of artifacts will be told by an expert.As the Sutra says, a flower makes a world, a leaf makes a bodhi.
Each piece will touch our hearts and bring us infinite affection and yearning for the Silk Road.

此石碑由珊瑚石雕刻而成。碑額為尖頂，尖頂兩側(cè)各有三個山峰形裝飾，山峰下刻有生命樹圖案，生命樹下有一長方形方框，方框內(nèi)刻有阿拉伯文《古蘭經(jīng)》文、墓主名字、“齋月吉日”等。
海南發(fā)現(xiàn)的伊斯蘭教徒古代墓葬基本上都是在每座墓的前、后豎立一塊珊瑚石碑。三亞因地理位置原因，珊瑚石數(shù)量眾多，早期居住在此的回民因地取材使用珊瑚石作為墓碑，形成特色的珊瑚石墓碑。
墓碑既有鮮明的伊斯蘭教民族特色，又有獨特的海南地域特色，具有濃厚的海洋文化風(fēng)格，是研究海南回族歷史乃至古代海上絲綢之路的重要實物之一。

墓碑上的宗教題材石刻在尖拱處，描繪了寶座上的圣母子。墓碑中間一段表現(xiàn)了與逝者同名的基督教圣徒凱瑟琳的殉道情節(jié)?；实弁评T都無法使凱瑟琳放棄基督教信仰，最終決定對凱瑟琳施以“破碎輪”刑罰。行刑前，她雙手合十跪下祈禱，身旁是酷刑時使用的車輪，或許是因為上方兩個天使施展的奇跡，車輪破裂倒在一邊，兩個行刑者也臥倒在地；因無法將她折磨致死，皇帝只好命令將她斬首斬首，一個劊子手正拔出一把長劍砍向圣凱瑟琳。凱瑟琳殉道后，天使飛來將她的遺體帶到埃及的西奈山上。
這座拉丁文墓碑是罕見的元代天主教在華物質(zhì)遺存，是羅馬天主教會在中國傳教活動時留下的重要見證。
