草原丝绸之路是青铜时代以来沟通欧亚大陆最为主要的商贸大动脉,是四大丝绸之路(沙漠丝绸之路、草原丝绸之路、海上丝绸之路、茶马古道)中起始最早、发挥作用最多的一条通道。其时间范围可以定位为青铜时代至近现代,空间范围大致框定为北纬40度至50度之间的这一区域,自然环境以草原为主要地貌特点,活动的人类群体以游牧为主要经济类型。其主体线路是由中原地区向北越过古阴山(今大青山)、燕山一带的长城沿线,西北穿越蒙古高原、南俄草原、中西亚北部,直达地中海北陆的欧 The Prairie Silk Road is the most important trade artery for communication between Eurasia and the Bronze Age. It was the earliest beginning of the four major Silk Roads (Desert Silk Road, Silk Road Prairie, Silk Road on the Sea, Ancient Tea Horse Road) One of the most useful channels. Its time range can be located in the Bronze Age to the modern era. Its spatial extent is broadly defined as this region between 40 degrees and 50 degrees north latitude. The natural environment takes the grassland as the main geomorphological feature and the active human population mainly uses nomadic economy as its main economic type. The main route is from the Central Plains to the north across the ancient Yinshan (now Castle Peak), Yanshan area along the Great Wall, north-west through the Mongolian Plateau, the southern Russian grasslands, northern Central and Western Asia, Europe directly to the Hokuriku in Europe
