Abstract

This work is a study of Iranis relations with China in the time of the Sasanian dynasty (A.D. 226 to 651). It is mainly based on the Chinese dynastic histories.A survey of these records reveals that historico-cultural contacts between these two countries go back to the time of emperor Wu-ti (140-87 B.C.) of the Former Han dynasty (206 B.C. to A.D.9).
