郑和下西洋与岭南关系述论

Zhenghe's sailings to the West and the Lingnan area

郑和下西洋,不仅显示了我国明代科学技术的发达和国家的强盛,而且开通了连接亚、非各国和地区的航路,传播了中华民族灿烂的古代文明,发展了中国与亚、非国家的经济、文化交流,密切了中外友好交往,同时加速了中国与东南亚海上贸易的发展,增进了岭南地区与东南亚之间的物质文化交流和友好往来。

The sailing to the West by Zhenghe not only proved that China was prosperous and was developed in science at the time of Ming dynasty, but opened a way on the sea to connect countries in Asia and Africa. His sailings disseminated Chinese ancient civilization, enhanced the economic and cultural exchanges between China and Asian and African countries. They also promoted the development of sea trade between China and South east countries and thus helped exchanges between Lingnan Area and Southeast areas.
