Before the Qing Dynasty implemented the policy of closing the country to the outside world, China has always maintained foreign exchanges, and the country has continued to prosper. Among them, one person who plays an important role in this regard is Zheng He, who has gone to the West seven times, which is the first time in history that China has set its sights on the world on the other side of the ocean, and even european navigators have begun to explore the New World, which is a hundred years later than Zheng He's voyage to the West.
Zheng He's seven voyages to the West brought economic prosperity to the entire Ming Dynasty, but in addition to more than 200 sea ships, he also had a huge battle followed by more than 20,000 people. However, most of these people were generals and soldiers, and very few women appeared. And did Zheng He bring a woman? Of course, this is the case, but Zheng He brought old women and midwives who were over the age of flower armor, which was puzzling.
When Zheng He went to the West, he specially brought a boat of old women, and these people were carefully selected by him, and the road to the West was far away, avoiding bringing some useless people. But what do these old women do? Moreover, if Zheng He wants to bring a woman, wouldn't it be better to bring some young and beautiful girls? The reason for this is actually very simple, and it also makes us marvel at the wisdom of the ancients!
In fact, these old women are not ordinary people, they are some tailors, not ordinary tailors, are the best among some tailors, will be selected by Zheng He. We all know that the road to the West is far away, and men do not have the ability to tailor clothes, of course, they can only find old women to do this.
Not only that, but the tailoring skills of the old woman were also extremely demanding, and they had to be very flexible in order to sew clothes for the generals and soldiers in a short period of time. In addition, they also had to sew socks and shoes for these generals and soldiers, under the conditions at that time, ordinary socks and shoes were easily broken and could not be worn for a long time, so they also needed the help of these old women to sew socks and shoes for the generals and soldiers in time.
However, everyone must be very curious, if you want to find a tailor with flexible craftsmanship, you don't have to be an old woman, some young girls are not worse than their skills, and the proficiency of sewing clothes is also very high.
However, the general and the soldier are both men, and it is impossible to avoid seeing some beautiful girls see the mood, which not only delays the trip of the Western team, but also forms a bad influence in the army. If they were older wives, they would not have to worry about these problems, and the generals and soldiers had respect for them.
But Zheng He not only brought some old women, but also several midwives, and there were no young women on board who could have children. In fact, the role of the midwife is not to deliver babies, but to symbolize the tradition of our country.
The purpose of Zheng He's voyage to the West must be foreign exchanges, the two cultures collide with each other, and the reason why Zheng He brought these midwives is also to show china's medical traditions to foreign countries, so that in the eyes of other countries, it can show our sincerity and is also welcomed by some Western countries, so that our country can develop better.
In addition, if a general and soldier and an old woman are injured on the way, the midwife will also have some traditional medical skills, at which time, they can also come in handy. It can not only express the traditional medical treatment of our country, but also save people at a critical moment, why not enjoy it? In this way, the wisdom of the ancients is indeed unlimited, and Zheng He has thus become a hero of the Ming Dynasty.
