Presentation transcript:

Exploration and Zheng He Ming China Exploration and Zheng He

Ming China Capital = Beijing Emperor Yongle built the Forbidden City = magnificent imperial residence Also built the Temple of Heaven = where rulers performed Confucian-based rituals to ensure the well- being of Chinese society

Ming China Focus = repairing the damage caused by Mongol rule Restored millions of acres of cultivation Rebuilt: canals, reservoirs, and irrigation systems Planted millions of trees to reforest China

Chinese Exploration China undertook large and impressive maritime expeditions Largest = launched in 1405 and led by Zheng He 300 ships; 27,000 crew members; variety of different people on board He made 7 voyages between 1405 and 1433

Voyages of Zheng He

Chinese Exploration Goals of Chinese exploration: Enroll distant peoples and states in the Chinese tribute system Bring back exotic goods from foreign lands (ex: zebras, giraffes, etc.) Establish Chinese power and prestige in the Indian Ocean Exert Chinese control over foreign trade

Chinese Exploration Abrupt and deliberate end to Chinese exploration in 1433 WHY? Death of Emperor Yongle = chief supporter Many officials saw expeditions as a waste of money and resources Believed focus should be on real threat = nomads to the north
