郑和七下西洋对海上丝绸之路的贡献——郑和下西洋的伟绩同西欧早期殖民扩张的对比

Contributions of Zhenghe's 7 Voyages down the Western Seas to Maritime Silk Road——Comparison between Contributions of Zhenghe's Voyages down the Western Seas and West Europe's Early Colonialisation and Expansion

从郑和与达·伽马和哥伦布的远航对比中,说明因不同的背景、目的和影响,其结果与性质则迥异。明成祖的中国的天下观与中国传统的协和万邦对外思想,引领郑和作为和平使者,扩大了同亚非各国人民的友好交往,促进了彼此之间互通有无的经济文化交流,而在西方殖民扩张的世界秩序论指导下达·伽马和哥伦布的远航,则给亚非拉的人民带去了一个整整持续了三、四百年的殖民主义暴力侵略、掠夺的时代。郑和下西洋对海上丝绸之路发展作出了突出的贡献,充分贯彻和体现了华夏文明天下观的伟绩,是永载世界史册的。新时代的中外交往是我国历史上中外交流的继续和发展。"一带一路"是由国家主席习近平提出的统筹国内发展和对外开放的重大的战略决策,也是中国寻求建立以合作共赢为核心的新型国际关系的重要载体,反映了我国新时期积极的国际战略思想。

The comparison between voyages of Zhenghe and of Da Gama's and Columbus shows a sharp contrast in the outcome and nature of the voyages due to differences in backgrounds,purposes and infl uences.It was Emperor Yongle's world view and Chinese traditional idea of cooperating harmoniously with other countries that helps the successful voyages of Zhenghe as a peace messenger.The voyages promote communications,economic and cultural exchanges with Asian and African countries;while with the world order concept of the western colonial expansion,Da Gama's and Columbus'voyages brought people in Asian,African and Latin American countries a period of300to400years'violent colonial invasion and exploitation.Zhenghe's contribution to Maritime Silk Road has gone down in history,which best exemplifi es the world view of Chinese nation.Exchanges between China and other countries are the continuation and further development of our international exchanges in history.The Belt and Road initiated by Xi Jinping is an important strategic policy outlining an overall plan of domestic development and opening up to the world,and it is also an important carrier for China to seek constructing a new win-win cooperative international relationship,representing Chinese active international strategic idea in the new epoch.
