Zheng He's voyage to the West is an unprecedented feat in the history of world navigation, which is more than half a century earlier than the ocean voyage in Europe.

There are more than 200 ships, three.
The size of the ship is 15 1.8m long and 24.5m long.
The number of people accompanying them is 27,800 and 88 respectively.
Zheng He's voyages to the West strengthened friendly exchanges and economic exchanges between China and Asian and African countries, promoted overseas Chinese to emigrate to Nanyang, and promoted the social and economic development of Nanyang.
Wherever Zheng He went, he brought friendly letters and gifts from the Ming emperors to local rulers, which were warmly welcomed by rulers and people of various countries. During Zheng He's voyage to the West, there was an endless stream of diplomatic envoys in China. Kings of Boni, Sulu and Malaga personally led huge delegations to visit China. King Sulu died in Dezhou, Shandong Province on his way home. The princess, her second son, Wenhala, and her third son, Andulu, stayed at home to guard the tomb. Today's two surnames, Di Di and An, are mostly descendants of King Sulu.
There is no doubt that the purpose of Zheng He's voyage to the West is mainly to promote treasure hunting in rivers in western Guo Wei, regardless of economic benefits; Most of the goods used for export are supervised by the government or forced by hard core and low price, which leads to a large number of craftsmen fleeing. With the decline of the national power in Ming Dynasty, the Zhuang language of ocean navigation was finally abolished as a "bad policy".
