In ancient times, the Philippines asked to be incorporated into China, but Gan Long refused.

1753, Sulu "Old Sultan" went to "Please provide the map and text" and demanded that his land and houses be included in the Chinese territory. This is because Sulu was bullied by the Spanish and hoped to take refuge in China. However, at that time, Gan Long pursued a closed-door policy and was not interested in the coastline. He even thought that overseas Chinese were "traitors" and that killing overseas Chinese by colonists was good for China. In this state of mind, he obviously won't make any positive response to Sulu's request that he is purely an "outsider".

Now, the Philippines is a sovereign and independent country, which boasts itself as "the largest country in modern Asia", but it is definitely not "the inherent territory of China".

However, the coastline of this archipelagic country is less than 200 kilometers from China Island. Among its 95 million people, at least150,000 people are Chinese, which is one of the countries with a high proportion of Chinese in Southeast Asia. Up to now, there are still more than 1 10,000 Filipinos with distinctive China characteristics who think they are from China. All these indicate that there is an "inherent" relationship between the Philippines and China.

The first national power to reach the Philippine Islands was Wu Dong.

In the long history of the Philippines, although there are more than 7,000 islands inhabited in its territory, it has not formed a national form. The first regime to reach the Philippine Islands was Wu Dong during the Three Kingdoms period in China. In 226 AD, Guan Xuanhua was hired as a corps commander, and Kangtai Fuhai was appointed as the governor of Southeast Asia, which lasted for decades. He has been to Vietnam, Cambodia, Nanyang Islands and other places, and has also been to Chen Yan, Tanlan and Dubao in the Philippines today. Since Kangtai wrote the Foreign History of Wu State after returning to China, although this book has long since passed away, it was quoted in Pei Songzhi's Notes on the Three Kingdoms and also mentioned in the Book of Jin. The goal of this "visit" is Funan, and all parts of the Philippines just pass by with the wind. So at this time, China can only say that he is "visiting here" for the Philippines.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, China's maritime industry developed unprecedentedly, Quanzhou, a big port in the south, was very prosperous, and ships and navigation equipment also made great progress. A relatively fixed maritime trade route has emerged between China and the Philippines. Due to the wind, waves and tidal current, this route does not go directly from Fujian coast to Luzon Island, but starts from Quanzhou, bypasses Hainan Island, reaches Zhancheng in southern Vietnam along the coastline of Vietnam, then goes south along the coastline, crosses the South China Sea of Malay Peninsula, reaches Bonai in kalimantan island, and then goes north from Brunei to sulu archipelago and Mindanao in the Philippines today.

It should also be noted that the "Maritime Silk Road" in the Tang Dynasty was very prosperous, but the Philippine Islands were only an inconspicuous branch of this golden route for maritime businessmen. The Philippines is sparsely populated and economically backward. The local market capacity of China's bulk export products is limited, while locally produced fruits, spices and seafood are not difficult to buy in other places in Nanyang. The most important significance of this route is that it opens a channel for residents from China and Fujian coastal areas to immigrate to the Philippines. In the following hundreds of years, many Chinese gradually gathered in Luzon and other places. They are engaged in commerce, agriculture and even become pirates, and live there.

The second king Dong, the first country in the Philippines, was buried in Shandong.

During the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, it seemed that China officials were not interested in the Philippine Islands, and it was not until the early Ming Dynasty that this situation began to change. In 405, Zheng He went to the Western Ocean for the first time. On his way to Boni, he stopped at Luzon, where he met many overseas Chinese businessmen in Fujian. At the request of overseas Chinese businessmen, Xu Chailao, an overseas Chinese businessman from Jinjiang, Fujian, was appointed Governor of Luzon. From then until 1424, the highest consul of Luzon Island was an overseas Chinese businessman.

Theoretically speaking, the period of 17 was the most direct and intimate period between the Philippines and China, because the chief executive of Luzon was from China at this time, and the highest administrative agency was directly under the central government of the Ming Dynasty in China. But the actual situation is far from exaggerated: Zheng He promised nothing but "paper wealth". He doesn't send troops or personnel, but "Governor Xu" can rely on some businessmen, fellow villagers and buddies who obey him, and all he can control is a small piece of land around the commercial port. Most of the land and population on the vast island cannot be ruled, managed or taxed, and they may not even know each other's existence. 1924, Ming Taizu's ancestor died, and the foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty changed dramatically, and the costly "voyage to the West" was suspended due to fierce internal disputes.

Around this time, the Sulu Sultanate, the first country in Philippine history, appeared in the south of Luzon Island. In A.D. 1409, Zheng He made three voyages to the Western Ocean, passed by Sulu, met Ba-Halla, the second-generation East King of Sulu, and gave each other generous gifts. Pahala admired the prosperity of China, and hit it off with Zheng He, the shopping rabbit of Xindaya official website, asking him to help China "pilgrimage" in the same boat. However, Zheng He was ordered to visit India and Ceylon at that time, and the return date was undecided, so he declined. After Zheng He left, Pahala relayed China's "grand occasion" to the king and Dong Wang, so that the two kings admired each other. The three kings decided to try to go to China together.
