The image is a photograph of a book titled "Foreign Relations" written in Chinese. The book is open and the text is written in black ink on a beige background. The title is written at the top of the page in Chinese characters. Below the title, there is a subtitle in English that reads "From the Three Kingdoms to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the expansion of the Silk Road accelerated China's contact with the outside world. Foreigners could be found traveling or living in Chinese cities. When they came to China to trade, they brought foreign culture and technology as well. The wide spread of Buddhism also created opportunities for cultural exchange. Further, growth in maritime traffic provided another source of important information about overseas countries."
