The Silk Road as a term since its coining by Ferdinand von Richthofen in 1877 (Richthofen, Ferdinand von (1877). "Über die zentralasiatischen Seidenstrassen bis zum 2. Jh. n. Chr" [On the Central Asian Silk Roads until the 2nd century A.D.]. Verhandlungen der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin (in German). 4: 96–122.) has continued to captivate not only the imagination but also fueled much discussion about its historicity, politics and ethnography. At UC Berkeley, the P.Y. and Kinmay W. Tang Center for Silk Road Studies (TCSRS) serves a facilitator and research incubator on the Silk Road and the Central Asia.
