In ancient times, it was a distribution center for precious stones and pearls. /kloc-At the beginning of the 0/5th century, it exchanged envoys and traded with China. Today, Aden is located on a prominent island in the Gulf of Aden. It is the capital of Yemen Democratic Party (South Yemen). 1990 in may, south and north Yemen merged into Yemen, and Aden became the "economic capital" of the country. The earliest discoverer of America has always been controversial, and all parties have been unable to reach an agreement on the discovery of the "first man" in America. The American Lincoln Daily Star reported on 20141kloc-0/4 that there is evidence that Zheng He, a China navigator, may have discovered the new continent first. Or watch 142 1 China discover the world.
Gavin menzies, the former submarine commander of the Royal Navy, put forward the argument that the detachment of Zheng He's fleet had sailed around the world long before the era of great navigation and had discovered America and Oceania in the best-selling book 142 1: China Discovered the World published in 2002. On June 65438+1October 16, 2006, a China painted on 1763 and marked Yongle 16 (14 18) was exhibited simultaneously in Beijing and maritime museum, a Greenwich country in London. The navigation map of China has detailed navigation areas and outlines of America, Europe and Africa. In addition, there are descriptions of American aborigines (black and red skin with feathers on the head and waist) and Australian aborigines (dark skin, naked body and bone products on the waist). The only drawback is that there is no record of Britain in the nautical chart. According to China lawyer Liu Gang, the collector of the map, he bought the map from a Shanghai businessman for 500 dollars in 200 1 year, and learned the historical importance and significance of the nautical chart by reading the above book 142 1: China Discovers the World. European navigators Columbus and Wagda Gama both sailed much later than Zheng He. They sailed several times, about 100 people, three or four ships, and the maximum tonnage was only 120 tons. Zheng He surpassed these European navigators in voyage, scale and organization. According to the textual research of Mr. Zheng Kuantao, Zheng He predicted the end of his life before his seventh voyage to the West. Before going to sea, he made a will and erected monuments in Taicang and Changle to show his heart. Eunuchs are discriminated against by the world because of their physical defects. They can't go to their ancestral graves after their death, so they can only seek spiritual sustenance from Buddhism and take temples as graves. Cremation and burial means that the soul has ascended to heaven and died; Complete merit. Therefore, eunuchs in Ming Dynasty were cremated after death. Xing 'an, a eunuch at the same time as Zheng He and thomas lee, believed in Buddhism all his life. "Death is a tower and bones turn to ashes". It can be seen that it was common for the ashes of senior eunuchs to be buried in "pagodas". A calligraphy scroll Buddhist sutra "The Wonderful Method of Receiving China" collected by pinghu city Museum in Zhejiang Province was later identified by cultural relics experts as the relic of Zheng He, an outstanding navigator in Ming Dynasty, and has been designated as a national first-class cultural relic by Zhejiang Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee. This calligraphy, the wonderful method and the lotus classic, is 40.3 meters long and 10. 1 cm wide. The full text is more than 60,000 words, all written in gold powder. According to experts' speculation, it was written in the seventh year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (1432). It is recorded in the "Postscript" of the scripture: "Zheng He, a Buddhist official in the Ming Dynasty, whose legal name was Fudi, devoted himself to casting the gold relic pagoda to keep it forever." Before Zheng He went to the Western Ocean for the last time, he launched a fund-raising activity by engraving scriptures and published "Five Thousand and Forty-eight, Ten Fang San". Yuan Yun, a famous monk at that time, was deeply impressed by Zheng He's feat. Entrusted by Zheng He, he wrote this passage in red gold. According to historical records, Zheng He made his first voyage to the Western Ocean in the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1405), and then in the eighth year of Xuande (A.D. 1433), Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Ocean, covering Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea, and reaching the east coast of Africa. It is this feat that sailed 87 years before Columbus, and it is recorded in the official history of the Ming Dynasty, the History of the Ming Dynasty, with only 767 words. There are only a few figures about his family background: Zheng He, a native of Yunnan, is also the so-called three treasures eunuch.
Zheng He's seven voyages to the West were not only related to the technical environment. According to his own account, he was able to travel safely with the help of Maurize Buddha because he studied Maurize's Buddhism.
At the end of the volume of "Buddhist Sutra on Morita Bodhisattva" carved by Zheng He.
1403 (the first year of Judy Yongle) Zheng He was thirty-two years old.
On the first day of the first month of the first month, he went to the Royal Fengtian Hall to congratulate him and hosted a banquet in honor of officials of civil and military affairs and four foreign envoys. (Record of Judy, Volume 16)
In May, Fujian Dusi was ordered to build 137 seagoing ships. (The Record of Judy, Volume 19)
In August, Jing Wei and the governments of Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi and Suzhou were ordered to build 200 seagoing ships. (The Record of Judy, Volume 21)
On August 23, Yao inscribed the Morita Sutra by Zheng Heyin, saying, "Zheng He, a disciple of the Bodhisattva discipline, was blessed by the good law, gave alms and worked hard, published and circulated, and won more than words. Fushan is getting more and more fragrant every day, so please ask questions, so tell me this. (On August 20th and 3rd of the first year of Yongle, in the autumn of Guiwei, the monk recorded the story of the shaman Daoyan of Zuoshan Master. " . (Postscript of Mori's Sutra)
1406 (Judy Yongle four years) "Zheng He" is thirty-five years old.
On their first trip to the West, Zheng He and others passed through Zhancheng, Java, Sumatra, Manchuria, Ceylon and other countries. For thousands of years, it seems that China or Indians should dominate the world, not white people. Immigrants from Australia and the American continent should also come from China, not Britain. I am puzzled by the reason why the power of the East and the West is reversed.
China was the strongest in the Ming Dynasty.
For thirteen years, I spent most of my life in Asia and tried to find out why. I always thought that the turning point in history was/kloc-at the beginning of the 3rd century, Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty in China set out from China with a huge fleet to conquer the world.
From 1405 to 1433, Zheng He led the fleet to the Western Ocean seven times, which was the most powerful fleet in the world at that time. It was not until 500 years later, that is, the First World War, that the western fleet could match it. Zheng He's fleet has 300 ships and 28,000 soldiers, and the largest warship is 400 long. 1492 When Columbus discovered the New World, there were only three ships and 90 crew members, and the largest ship was only 85 years old. In addition, the navigation equipment of Zheng He's fleet was very advanced, such as rudder and breakwater, which were all cutting-edge designs at that time. It took 350 years for these advanced navigation equipment to be introduced to the west. This means that the East once far surpassed the West in ancient times.
