Zheng He's voyage to the West has always been a classic diplomatic event of our country, and it can be regarded as the first time that China has taken the initiative to connect with foreign countries. Because of the exchange visits everywhere, China's exchanges with foreign countries have become closer and closer, and trade has become more and more dredged. But the most important thing in this is not economic change, but the spread of culture. After Zheng He went to the West, he was compiled into a book and filmed into a series of TV series, but what he did not expect was that a princess of a country was involved in the middle.
Zheng He's influence on the West
Long ago, the world, like chaos, was not as clearly divided as it is now. People live in their own kingdoms and think that the world is roughly the same. As everyone knows, the world in their impression is far less than this, but because of the backwardness of various technologies, the whole picture of the world is unimaginable. Then since you can't imagine it, you have to go to a distant place to explore, and China's Zheng He's voyage to the West is a classic exploration process.
Zheng He's dynasty in the West was the Ming Dynasty, when the surrounding environment of the Ming Dynasty was not very peaceful, there were Wokou on the sea, and there were small countries around it that often attacked tentatively, plus the countries of Southeast Asia also quarreled over fame and fortune or the city and the city, so the main purpose of the mission was to maintain peace, and the fighting force sent to Zheng He in order to achieve this purpose was also very complete. In fact, this is a good plan, if a big country wants to surrender to other countries, and does not cost a single soldier, the most effective way is probably the same - through the power of the big power to deter.
As soon as the effects of peace began to take place, nations saw a force more powerful than they did. In order to get a piece of the pie, the trade activities began. A country has the characteristics of a country, can carry out trade exchanges, can enhance the country's economy, and by the way, can also make the relationship between the two countries more and more harmonious, such a win-win situation is what many people hope to see, but also willing to take the initiative to implement.
In addition to these, our civilization had a history of thousands of years at that time, and compared with other small countries that had just emerged, the rules or etiquette in all aspects were also very complete and had profound skills. Although civilization is not good or bad, it is suitable for good. But after a thousand years of baptism, China's civilization has its own unique charm and influence. Several countries where Zheng He went to the West saw the strength of our country, also felt the appeal of our civilization, and the cultural exchanges with our country became closer and closer. Today, it can be seen that after years of spread, China's civilization has been able to show itself in many places at home and abroad.
A magical vignette in the middle of Zheng He's voyage to the West
Since Zheng He went to the West for peace, it was natural that the soldiers would inevitably meet each other, not to mention the unpredictable environment on the sea, and the experience in the middle was not something that could be profoundly expressed in a few words. But there was a small episode in the middle, and this episode was followed by an impact on the millennium and promoted exchanges between the two countries.
The start of the event
There are many ancient tombs in our country, and the responsibility of archaeologists is to restore historical facts for human beings by exploring these ancient tombs, and the beginning of this event is on an ancestral tomb.
A family will have a family cemetery location, and the tombs of ordinary people are like the imperial tombs of ancient times that cannot be touched at will. Because this is a great disrespect to the ancestors of others, it is the most taboo behavior. The ancient tomb in the story was discovered by an employee who worked in the museum for several years, when he found that this tomb pile may be a Tomb of the Ming Dynasty by means of his investigation of the surrounding environment, which is of great research value.
When the experts were ready to start digging, a woman named Xu Shiyin'e appeared, claiming that the tomb was the ancestral grave of their family and could not be touched by others at will. Since the owner family of the tomb has stood out, the work of the experts will be more smooth after that, and after many inspections, they finally know the historical origin of the tomb.
First of all, the tombstone of this tomb is carved with the words "Shijia Pit", and the words on it also indicate that the family's surname is "Shi". In fact, this woman named Xu Shiyin'e already knew about this history of her family. When her grandmother was very old, she would often recite some words that she could not understand.
But when she inquired carefully, her grandmother would look around at him again. In desperation, she paused the idea of knowing her grandmother's secret. But slowly, her father was going overseas. As the eldest daughter of the family, she must know her family's past, so she knows the secrets kept by her grandmother.
But after all, it has been a long time since the incident, and their family's ancestral precepts require her to hide her identity. But seeing that her family's tomb was to be studied, she had no choice but to stand up to reduce the damage to the tomb.
It turns out that this tomb is really a tomb of the Ming Dynasty, but the earliest person buried in it is a prince. At that time, it was because of Zheng He's cultural exchanges in the West, the prince of the ancient Ceylon kingdom was appointed as an emissary by his father, and also traveled across Haiti to our country for exchanges, but when he wanted to return to china, he learned of the turmoil in his own country, and if he rushed back to China, it would only be a dead end because of insufficient preparation.
Moreover, as the king's son, he is also a prince, and once he reaches his kingdom, he will only become the target of everyone. In desperation, the prince chose to live in our country, and the place of residence was right near this tomb. As for the prince's surname should be "Shi", but the woman who blocked the expert was surnamed "Xu Shi", this is a bit strange.
In fact, the woman's grandmother did not give birth to a male Ding, so she had to find a person to join in, and this person's surname was "Xu". In this way, the two surnames are combined, and most of the descendants of this family are surnamed "Xu Shi".
After the ins and outs of the matter have been clarified, if carefully calculated, this woman turned out to be a princess left over from the ancient Ceylon kingdom. However, the ancient ceylon kingdom no longer exists, and has become the current Sri Lanka, but the power of the bloodline cannot be cut off, and Xu Shiyin'e is still a princess of that country.
Now, after this fact has been revealed, Xu Shiyin'e has been treated as a princess and invited back to China according to the etiquette of the royal family, and even the president has received her. But because she grew up in our country, it can be said that she has the blood of the two countries, and has also become the most critical link between our country and the Sri Lankan countries.
This incident was just a small episode of Zheng He's voyage to the West, and it did not expect to become the driving force for more in-depth exchanges between the two countries today. Like the "butterfly effect," some things seem to be arranged in the dark. But it can also be seen from the side that Zheng He's influence in the West did not simply enhance trade, maintain peace, and exchange culture, but its real effectiveness is timeless and constantly created, which further proves how powerful the unity of mankind will be.
China is a large country with a history of 5,000 years, and many historical facts have not yet been explored. But once the investigation is clear, it may be found that the original blood of our country is scattered all over the world, and the blood of the world may also be scattered in our country.
If that day really comes to prove that the world is interconnected, humanity will always come to the point where you have me, I have you. The so-called "monofilament does not form a line, a single tree does not become a forest", the world is developing day by day, and it is no longer the system that was not related to each other and is self-contained before. In fact, when the first union comes out, it will be expected that there will always be a day of great unity.
