"Xi'an, pronounced Shee-ahn, is one of China's oldest cities.
From 221 BC to AD 907, Xi'an served on and off as the capital of
the vast Chinese empire...
The famed Silk Road, the trade route that linked the Far East to Europe,
started there in the second century BC, and turned
the city, then known as Chang'an,
into a throbbing metropolis... and an epicenter
for culture and politics."

Excerpt From Deluxe: How Luxury lost its luster, by Dana Thomas
I wonder if the folks at Tribe Carnival considered any of this, as they designed their 2010 presentation, The Secrets of Silk. Which was supposedly inspired both by the luxurious fabric and said same, Asian trade route...
