What influence did Zheng He's voyage to the West have on China at that time?

The influence of Zheng He's voyages to the West on the survival and development of China's overseas immigrants: Zheng He's voyages to the West lasted for 28 years, involving 65,438+200,000 people, and went to Yu Wanli for ten times, reaching more than 30 countries and regions successively, which was a great pioneering work in the history of human navigation. According to relevant data, in Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, many Chinese came with Zheng He's fleet and stayed for a long time, becoming early overseas Chinese. Under the influence of Zheng He's voyage to the West, "... the people in Fujian and Guangxi built ships and waded into the sea, flocking to them, and even bought fields and married people to stay behind. 1 "By the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the number of overseas Chinese in Nanyang had exceeded100000." It can be said that Zheng He's voyages to the West not only opened the "Maritime Silk Road" and opened the door to China's foreign trade, but also indirectly expanded the geographical knowledge of China people, raised people's expectations of immigrant income, promoted more China people to go to Nanyang and other places to do business and make a living, and had a positive impact on the survival and development of China immigrants overseas and the formation of overseas Chinese society.
