He wanted to follow Sima Qian's example of "reading thousands of books and traveling on Wan Li Road" and travel around the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, inspecting local conditions and customs and recording products. In the first year of Shunshun (1330), Wang Dayuan, who was only 20 years old, came to Quanzhou, Fujian, the largest commercial port in the south, which was the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. He took a merchant ship for the first time and sailed for the sea. After dozens of countries, it took five years to cross the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. In the third year of Zhiyuan (1337), Wang Dayuan set sail for the second time and returned to Quanzhou for two years. Wang Dayuan read widely, made detailed records along the way and wrote hundreds of rhyming ancient poems. In nine years (1349), he compiled the Records of Yidao, which was the beginning of the personal experience of ancient navigators in China.

The authenticity and scope of historical materials are more extensive than those written by officials and private individuals in previous dynasties, which is of great value to the study of the historical geography of Chinese and western traffic and sea lanes in Yuan Dynasty. Many western scholars have studied this book and translated it into many languages. Europeans know that this continent was nearly 200 years after Wang Dayuan arrived in Australia.
