They usually traded silk, jade, copper and bronze. The Chinese grew peaches though so they might have traded those too. Also the growing of peaches started to be more common along the silk road, which gives more evidence of possible trade. The Chinese did have money though. At first they used cowrie shells, then they started making metal imitations of them. Metal beads that could be stringed came next and eventually they started to make paper money. (they were the first to make paper)
