Mirza Ulug`bek, Chinese ancient books, Silk Road, Cultural exchange.

Mirza Ulug`bek was one of the rulers of the Timurid dynasty. During his reign in Samarkand, he placed much emphasis on the development of friendly relations with the Ming Dynasty and sent many missions to visit the Ming Dynasty, which promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between Samarkand and the Ming Dynasty and promoted the mutual appreciation and integration of Eastern and Western civilizations on the Silk Road. The records of the ancient Chinese texts of the Ming dynasty about the Mirza Ulug`bek can bear witness to the close political, economic, and cultural relations between Samarkand and China in terms of diplomatic etiquette, tribute items, missions, and imperial letters, which provide useful historical references for today's China and Central Asian countries to build the "Silk Road Economic Belt" and promote the construction of the Asian community of destiny.
