Since the evidence for direct maritime trade between the Sassanid Empire and China is exiguous, it has often been asserted that there was no direct sea commerce between these two countries. Scholars claim that there is nothing to prove direct Chinese sailings to Iran before Islam and say that direct sea commerce between them was occurred during early Islamic Period. Based on the historical, archaeological and numismatic evidence in Iran and China, this article tries to show that contacts between Persians and Chinese started from sixth century A.D because of the presence of Persians in southern ports of China. Later, Persian Gulf saw a regular Persian-Chinese trade because of the role of Sīrāf port in the expanding of Persian-Chinese relations at the ninth century A.D.

Cultural communications among nations consist of various subjects and architectural art styles are the most distinct and recognized subjects in this area of studding. The republic of Dagestan in south of Russian Federation, not only from the past has cultural and historical relation with Iran, but also CT located in the Historical geography of cultural Iran. This relationship was more due to the political and social domination of Iran from Sassanian period till Tsar’s reign in 19th century. This land is close to Northern provinces of Iran, Gilan and Mazandaran. Dagestan has so many cultural interrelationships with these provinces. In the province of Mazandaran very special architectural art style could be observed which is comparable and similar with religious monuments in south Dagestan. These similarities could be seen on wooden decorations such as on columns and windows, painting on roof and walls, plan of the buildings.
