What was the great influence of Zheng He's voyage to the West at that time?

1. The influence of Zheng He's voyages to the West at home in the early Ming Dynasty, the further development of industries with capitalist budding factors such as mining, metallurgy, prevention and control, ceramics and shipbuilding, and folk handicrafts provided a solid material foundation for Zheng He's large-scale overseas trade. With the gradual expansion of Zheng He's fleet, more and more overseas markets have been opened up along the coast of South Asia and the Indian Ocean. The surge of overseas trade and the shortage of commodities, in turn, stimulated the rapid development of domestic government and private industries and folk handicrafts. At that time, China's blue-and-white porcelain, silk, gauze, brocade, Wen Qi, clothing, cloth, copper and iron vessels, copper coins, beads, lacquerware, musk, camphor, dried and fresh fruits were very popular in the international market. In order to meet the needs of overseas markets, porcelain industry centered on Jingdezhen, silk industry centered on Suzhou, cotton industry centered on Songjiang, bleaching and dyeing industry centered on Wuhu, etc. The rapid development has played a certain role in promoting the further development of China's social economy. ? As an unprecedented event in the history of friendly exchanges between the people of China and the people of Asian and African countries, the story of Zheng He's voyage to the West is not only praised by China's envoys sent overseas, but also widely circulated in China. In the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's voyage to the West was the script, and novels (comments) included Luo Maodeng's popular romance, Sambo eunuch's voyage to the West. Luo Maodeng's book The Popular Romance of Three Treasures Eunuchs was created on the basis of sorting out the stories of Zheng He's voyages to the West in Ming Dynasty, but it also made extensive use of various historical records about Zheng He's voyages to the West. Among them, Ma Huan's Ying Ya Sheng Lan, Fei Xin's Xing Cha Sheng Lan, Gong Zhen's Western History, Lu Cai's Ye Ke Cheng Lun and so on. , as well as other historical records and materials that existed at that time and have long since disappeared. The descriptions of various types of ships used by Zheng He in his voyages to the West, the descriptions of Zheng He's fleet formation and navigation, and the inscriptions left by Zheng He and important members of his mission in memorable places are all unknown in his books and have great reference value. This book describes in detail the products and tributes of various countries, which is often beyond the reach of other books. In addition, some thoughts, remarks and practices of Zheng He's overseas missions described in the book are also of certain reference value to our study of Sino-foreign relations during Zheng He's voyage to the West. The tendency of advocating Buddhism, Taoism and Islam in the book and the religious beliefs of Zheng He and others are obviously inseparable from the religious beliefs of Zheng He and his close colleagues and members of the mission to the West. This book reflects the influence of Zheng He's voyage to the West on the people. ? In history, Zheng He's voyages to the West had an important influence on strengthening the ties between Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province Province. According to Qing Palace Chai's Filial Piety of Taiwan Province Province, Zheng He's mission is to "travel around the world and collect folk customs. Xuanzong Xuande five years, Sambo returned to China, near the Bohai Sea, was blown to Taiwan Province Province by strong winds, which was the beginning of China people entering the island. After more than ten days, Sambo brought several herbs and returned to China by boat. " It is true that Zheng He went to Taiwan Province Province on the Western Ocean, but the record here is wrong: "Xuanzong preached virtue for five years, and the three treasures returned". The fifth year of Xuande was the year when Zheng He went abroad for the seventh time. When he came back, Zheng He had died in Guri in the eighth year of Xuande. Referring to other records, the "Xuande five years" here may be the mistake of Yongle five years. According to Wu's My Travel Notes in Fujian in Qing Dynasty, "Penghu is the gateway of Taiwan Province Province, with 36 islands, all of which are in the ocean. ..... Zeng Yongle Ding Hai (Yongle five years, 1407) ordered eunuchs Zheng He and Wang Jinghong to reward and declare to the southeast countries. Zheng He's old name, so Yun eunuch went to the West because of the wind. " The fifth year of Yongle was Zheng He's first trip to the West to return to China, which was consistent with the "Return of Three Treasures" recorded by Xiaozhi in Taiwan Province Province. It is said that Zheng He arrived in Taiwan Province Province on his way back from the West. Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Ocean, except for the first one in September, and the other six were in July. Probably because of my inexperience in the first voyage to the West, I was blown to Taiwan Province Province by strong winds and returned to China "more than ten days later". As a result, I was scheduled to return in July. Because I stayed in Taiwan Province Province for several ten days, the time to return to China was delayed until September. Zheng He's mission is a group with 27,000 or 8,000 members and a well-organized system. Staying in Taiwan Province Province for several decades requires extensive contact with local residents, spreading the advanced culture and production technology of the mainland, and at the same time, dealing with some business problems arising from the contact between members of the mission and local residents fairly, which greatly expanded the influence of the Ming government in Taiwan Province Province, increased the people's understanding of the mainland in Taiwan Province Province, and strengthened the feelings between the people in Taiwan Province Province and the people in the mainland. On the other hand, after returning to China, members of the mission will inevitably introduce various situations in Taiwan Province Province to the mainland people, with considerable influence. ? Zheng He has many relics and relics in China, which have been remembered by people for hundreds of years, and have become places and keepsakes for people to remember and publicize the brilliant achievements of Zheng He's voyages to the West. These relics and cultural relics are famous, such as the ancestral grave of Zheng He's hometown in Kunyang Town, Jinning County, Yunnan Province, Zheng He's tomb in Nanjing, Zheng He's former residence in Mafu Street, Nanjing Jinghai Temple, Nanjing Jingjue Temple, Nanjing Tianfei Palace and Tianfei Palace Monument, Nanjing Hongji and Glass Pagoda, Nanjing Treasure Shipyard, Taicang Liujiagang, Taicang Tianfei Palace, Changle Taiping Port, Changle Tianfei Palace, Changle Sanqing Hall, Changle Sanbaoyan and Zheng He's voyages to the West. The feat of Zheng He's voyage to the West has spread the prestige of the Chinese nation overseas, and its historical influence is bound to be like this, setting up a monument in the hearts of Chinese people. 2. The influence of Zheng He's voyage to the West. Zheng He's voyages to the West made great contributions to the establishment of international peace in Asia and Africa, the promotion of unity and friendship among people in Asian and African countries, and the development of political, economic and cultural exchanges between China and Asian and African countries. Zheng He's mission sowed the seeds of friendship in Asian and African countries, and the flower of friendship is open and enduring in the hearts of Asian and African people. Today, in the Asian and African countries visited by Zheng He's delegation, especially in Southeast Asia, there are still various monuments commemorating Zheng He, and many stories and legends about Zheng He's voyage to the West are circulating, and various activities are still being carried out to commemorate Zheng He. Zheng He's overseas remains can naturally be found in many countries and regions visited by Zheng He's delegation. The Asian and African countries visited by Zheng He's delegation have undergone great changes due to the invasion of western European colonists, and the world is bleak, which has submerged most of Zheng He's overseas relics in a long time. There are few relics found occasionally in modern times. For example, in the seventh year of Yongle, the stone tablet erected by Zheng He to commemorate the Buddhist Temple in Ceylon Mountain in Busch was found in the southern coastal city of Sri Lanka 19 1 1. The Sri Lankan government and people attach great importance to this discovery, and this stone tablet, which symbolizes the traditional friendship between the Chinese and Sri Lankan peoples, is displayed in Colombo National Museum, Sri Lanka. Zheng He's mission to Asian and African countries has done many good things for the local people, such as treating diseases, imparting advanced production technology and experience, enabling people to learn the skills of building cities and digging wells for water, and imparting knowledge of culture and civilized life. People all over the world, especially overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, feel the kindness of Zheng He and cherish the achievements of Zheng He's mission. Many stories and legends about Zheng He are widely circulated. Some countries in Southeast Asia, even under the influence of Zheng He, have formed new customs. For example, bathing in Thailand and the custom of "fasting" in Java were all influenced by Zheng He. A peaceful foreign policy aimed at good neighborliness, such as Zheng He's voyage to the West, has brought rare good news to people of all countries in history, which is in sharp contrast with the piracy of western colonialists. This perfectly illustrates the historical significance of Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas, and it is indeed worthy of permanent commemoration by the people of Asian and African countries, and it is worthy of the people of China to "value peace and treat foreign countries as ministers". ? 3. The influence of Zheng He's voyage to the West on the development of overseas Chinese in Nanyang. The history of overseas Chinese exploring Nanyang did not begin with Zheng He's voyage to the West. As early as the Han Dynasty and Wei and Jin Dynasties, the people of China had contact with Nanyang. During the Yuan Dynasty, many adherents of the Southern Song Dynasty and people in the southeast coast flocked to Nanyang in order to resist the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty, becoming the earliest developers of Nanyang Islands. Due to various reasons, the areas they went to, the number of immigrants and the scale of operation were extremely limited. In addition, it is difficult for them to keep in regular contact with the mainland of the motherland, and there are few sources of manpower and material resources, so it is impossible to have any significant impact on the development of Nanyang. Zheng He's voyage to the Western Seas opened a new era in China's overseas transportation history, and also opened a new era for overseas Chinese to explore Nanyang. Zheng He's seven voyages to the West completely opened up the maritime traffic between China and Southeast Asian countries, established China's prestige overseas, and created many favorable conditions for overseas Chinese to develop Southeast Asia. Zheng He's mission made great efforts to spread China's education and teach China's advanced production technology in Southeast Asian countries, and achieved remarkable results, indicating that this region has great potential to be tapped and has great potential, and attracted a large number of China immigrants to Southeast Asia. At the turn of 15 and 17 century, the number of overseas Chinese in Nanyang increased and their distribution was far beyond that of previous dynasties. During the 200-300 years after Zheng He's voyage to the West, more and more overseas Chinese devoted themselves to the development of Nanyang, and in the process, they assimilated with the local people, which improved their knowledge, skills and living standards and played a decisive role in the social progress and economic prosperity of Nanyang countries. After Zheng He's voyage to the Western Ocean, the influence of overseas Chinese in Nanyang gradually became stronger. On this basis, several regimes established by expatriates and many overseas Chinese leaders have emerged in various parts of Nanyang.
