Zhenghe was
a minister of the Ming dynasty (About 1368 A.D~1644 A.D). In his whole life, the greatest thing he did is he traveled to the west. It happened in about
1405 A.D~1433 A.D
The Ming
dynasty was the most powerful kingdom in the world when Zhenghe was young. Ming’s
emperor wanted to get more money and technology, so he let Zhenghe travel to
other kingdom by ship. Zhenghe took many kinds of technology and many things made in
Ming to exchange.
Finally he
came back to Ming kingdom. He traveled to Java,
Sumatra, Sulu, Pahang, Zhenla, Guri, Siam, Pangkath, Adan, Tianfang, Zofal, Hurumus, Mudu Bung and more than 30 countries.
Ming’s
emperor was happy. He awarded Zhenghe and he let he traveled again.
Zhenghe
started his travel again. He traveled to others countries and exchanged their
technologies and weapons. He traveled seven times. He died when he was in the
last travel. He even traveled to Africa, he took many pieces of pottery to there.
Zhenghe’s
traveling is greatness because he opened the door of the business between the
countries. His traveling was the first time buying and selling between the
countries of Asia, Europe and Africa.
