The Silk Road, as the main axis of exchange, provided a platform for the transfer of goods, religion, and culture between East and West, paving the way for extensive communication between the two civilizations. With the advent and propagation of Islam in Central Asia, Iran-China relations entered a new phase, and new dimensions of cultural and political interactions emerged between the two countries. The Mongol invasions in the 7^th century A.H and the establishment of the Ilkhanid government in Iran and the Yuan Dynasty in China marked a turning point in the relations between the two countries, strengthening political and economic ties and elevating the relationship to an unprecedented level. During this period, commercial and cultural interactions reached their peak; Islam spread in East Asia, and Buddhism found its way to the West. The Persian language and literature developed in the East, and the Sino-Mongol culture became prevalent among Muslims. In this context, the main question of the current research is what factors laid the groundwork for the expansion of Iran-China relations during the Ilkhanid period, and how these relations led to extensive interaction between the two civilizations. The aim of this research is to identify the factors influencing these relations, examine their political, economic, and cultural consequences, and analyze the role of the Silk Road in the transfer of culture and  religion between East and West. The necessity of this research stems from the fact <br />that studying Iran-China relations during the Ilkhanid period is not only important for understanding the history of the two countries but also essential for a better comprehension of civilizational interactions on a global scale. This study can shed light on Iran's role in global communication networks and China's position in cultural and economic interactions, and also allow for comparison with contemporary relations and the utilization of historical experiences. The research methodology is based on a descriptive-analytical approach, and data have been collected through the study of reputable library sources and analyzed using historical and comparative analysis methods to present a clear picture of Iran-China relations during the Ilkhanid period. The findings of the research indicate that Iran-China relations significantly developed during the Ilkhanid period, encompassing various political, economic, and cultural dimensions. However, these relations did not endure due to the political transformations and changes in the structure of governments, eventually being limited to economic exchanges. Analyzing historical documents, the present research provides a deeper understanding of the trend of these relations and shows that Iran-China interactions during this period were a model of civilizational communication between East and West. روابط تاریخی ایران و چین، تحت تأثیر عوامل سیاسی، اقتصادی و فرهنگی، بر پایه تجارت و تبادل دانش و فرهنگ شکل گرفت. جاده ابریشم محور اصلی این مبادلات بود. با ظهور اسلام و گسترش آن در آسیای مرکزی، روابط ایران و چین وارد مرحله تازه‌ای شد. حملات مغول در قرن هفتم، به تشکیل حکومت‌های ایلخانی در ایران و یوآن در چین انجامید و پیوندهای سیاسی و اقتصادی دو کشور را تقویت کرد. این تعاملات، اسلام را در شرق آسیا گسترش داد و آیین بودا را به غرب آورد. زبان و ادبیات فارسی در شرق توسعه یافت و فرهنگ چینی- مغولی میان مسلمانان رایج شد. پرسش اصلی پژوهش حاضر این است که چه عواملی زمینه‌ساز گسترش روابط ایران و چین در دوره ایلخانان بوده و موجب تعامل گسترده این دو تمدن شد؟ بر این اساس، پژوهش حاضر با رویکرد توصیفی ـ تحلیلی و بهره‌گیری از منابع تاریخی، عوامل مؤثر بر مناسبات ایلخانیان ایران و امپراتوری مغولی چین و پیامدهای سیاسی، اقتصادی و فرهنگی این روابط را بررسی می‌کند. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که با وجود توسعه مناسبات در ابعاد مختلف، این تعاملات به دلیل تحولات سیاسی پایدار نماند و در نهایت به مبادلات اقتصادی محدود شد. https://hiq.bou.ac.ir/article_77823_3eac8ba13bef839cd3c5361926bbdc2d.pdf
