Abstract

We can summarize from the folds of this research that The convergence between the Chinese and Arab civilizations is rooted in the depths of history, and history also proves that the cultural exchange between the Chinese and Arab civilizations is not only beneficial to both sides; Rather, it benefits the whole world. Moderation, moderation, tolerance and respect were basic principles. Against the background of these cultural exchanges, the Prophet Muhammad was attributed a saying, “Seek knowledge even in China.” More than two thousand years ago, the world-famous Silk Road linked the Chinese and Arab civilizations. This road was not only a passage for trade and travel; Rather, it was a way of cultural exchange as well, and through this road, Caliph Othman bin Affan sent a special envoy to China in the year (31 AH / 651 AD). Through this route, the two sides also learned from each other, and transferred each other’s inventions to the other, which prompted the development of sciences. The technology on both sides is forward, as the Chinese paper industry moved in the Umayyad era - specifically in the first century AH / seventh century AD) to the Arab world - and then moved to Europe via North Africa and Istanbul, and perhaps the art of Chinese printing moved in the century (fourth AH / tenth century). AD) to Egypt, then to Europe.Also, silk, pottery, medicine and pharmacology moved from China to the Arab world.
