Personality achievement

Zheng Chenggong took advantage of the province's advantages of being surrounded by the sea and convenient in foreign trade to vigorously develop overseas trade. When he was in Xiamen, he often sent merchant ships to Southeast Asian countries for trade. After arriving in Taiwan Province Province, the Qing Dynasty imposed a "sea ban" to prohibit mainland merchant ships from going to sea.

Zheng Chenggong monopolized the maritime trade. He continued to trade with Japan, Siam, Viet Nam, the Philippines, Cambodia and other countries, and exported the native products of Taiwan Province Province, such as deerskin, preserved deerskin, camphor, sulfur and sucrose, to foreign countries in exchange for the required swords, armor and daily necessities.

The development of overseas trade enlivened the commodity economy and increased Zheng Chenggong's fiscal revenue. These trade measures promoted the economic development of Taiwan Province Province, so that in the twenty years after Zheng Chenggong, the economy of Taiwan Province Province and the mainland gradually developed synchronously.
