Why is Zheng He's voyage to the West a major maritime event?
1。 Many countries went to the West with a sea of people and ships, but ships were the scientific and technological achievements of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and the shipbuilding level of China dropped sharply at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

2。 In order to explain their "advanced greatness", China people are crazy about it.

3。 Some boring people in the west continue to talk nonsense about inventing America and so on.

Humor: the significance of Zheng He's voyage to the West

Someone asked, "If Zheng He's voyage to the Western Ocean continues, how will the world situation develop?" This problem shows that the failure of China's history education is really a mistake, which destroys people tirelessly. Zheng He's voyage to the West was blown so brilliantly that he raised such naive questions. How will the world situation develop? Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean are different in nature from opening up new sea routes. He did not open up new colonies, nor did he change Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions to ban Haizu in the Ming Dynasty. The following are two versions of Zheng He's purpose of going to the West.

"genuine":

One. China's ancient navigation reached its peak and became the pioneer of the world's great navigation era in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Two. It has promoted the expansion of overseas trade and the economic exchanges and development between China and foreign countries.

Three. Spreading Chinese civilization has promoted the two-way exchange and progress of Chinese and foreign cultures.

Four. Good-neighborly friendship has consolidated and developed the friendly relations between China and Asian and African countries.

Five. It shows the heroism of the Chinese nation, the courage, openness and enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation, and the broad mind of the Chinese nation, leaving us with valuable spiritual wealth.

Six. It has carried forward the scientific spirit of the Chinese nation to attach importance to and explore the ocean, and provided important enlightenment for revitalizing China's marine cause.

Funny version:

One. Historians' fantasy: As early as the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire, an officer of the Tang Dynasty was captured and later sent back to the Tang Dynasty by an Arab merchant ship. There were more than 60 maritime trade in Song Dynasty, which went directly to Africa, and there were more than 300 countries in Yuan Dynasty. The so-called Zheng He's voyage to the Western Ocean was from the Tang Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty. If we look closely at Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas, we will only follow the route of our predecessors. Where can we talk about exploration? The difference is the official behavior of the Ming Dynasty. There are more than 200 ships and more than 60 super-large ships, also known as treasure ships, with 30 thousand people.

Two. The media said: China's historians praised foreigners for believing, and an Englishman even said that Zheng He discovered America, which was also broadcast by CCTV.

Three. Religious communication: Southeast Asia became a Muslim because of Zheng He's voyage to the West, which was due to Zheng He's voyage to the West. Both the Ming royal family and Zheng He were Muslims. Zheng He went to the West to spread Islam, and finally arrived in Mecca, a Muslim holy land, to pursue the migration history of the Ming emperor.

Four. Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty had ancestral teachings and wanted to close the country, but Zhu Lizi, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, violated the ancestral teachings. On one occasion, the Ming Palace built by Zhu caught fire for no reason. Zhu was superstitious and thought it was the punishment of his ancestors, so Zheng He was hastily recalled for his fourth voyage to the West and even began to hate Zheng He.

Five. Quanzhou was the most developed port city in the world in the Yuan Dynasty, because the whole country was closed to the outside world in the Ming Dynasty, but it declined because of the policies of the Ming Dynasty. What did Zheng He's voyages to the West do to promote maritime trade? If you are interested, you can go to Quanzhou's website to see the history of Quanzhou and see how Zheng He evaluated his voyages to the West.

Six. When Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, he brought many gifts every time. Besides, the fleet is huge, with tens of thousands of people. After many twists and turns, the finance of Ming Dynasty was tight, and the ministers resolutely opposed it. Therefore, after Zheng He arrived in Mecca, the Muslim holy land, the Ming Dynasty also stopped "exploring the sea".

The Ming emperor was a Muslim of Hui nationality.

Zheng He was also a Hui and a eunuch.

At that time, the minister opposed eunuchs representing the country.

but

The emperor asked Zheng He to make a pilgrimage on behalf of his family.

Zheng He's seventh voyage to the West was in Mecca, the Islamic holy land (Arabian Nights).

After that, the Ming Dynasty never went to the Western Ocean again, but before Zheng He arrived in Mai Jia (an Arabian paradise), the emperor ignored the opposition of ministers and sent a Hui eunuch to the Western Ocean.

This is why Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Ocean instead of six or eight.

In addition, Zheng He also spread Islam along the way, which has a lot of evidence in Southeast Asia.

Who gave him the power of eunuch?

Why didn't Zheng He promote the culture of China?

Of course, because the Ming emperor was a Muslim.
