Why was zheng he important?

Answer 1

Zheng He is known as the Great Eunuch Admiral. He was sent to serve as China's envoy to the lands in the Indian ocean Basin. He was also the commander of the emperor's Treasure Fleet. He commanded a total of seven voyages of the fleet in the course of his career. These were the loftiest achievements of any eunuch in the country's history.

Answer 2

The famous Chinese navigator Zheng He was born in Kunyang in southwest China in 1371. His birth name was Ma He, and he was from a poor Chinese Muslim family. Scholars say that his father and grandfather were honored hajis--people who successfully made the pilgrimage to Makkah in Arabia. Little did Ma He know that his life would involve travel. His seven missions across the oceans earned him heroic honors.

His father died when Ma He was very little. As a child, Ma He was taken prisoner by the Chinese army. To overcome his sad life, Ma He turned to education. He learned different languages, including Arabic, and studied philosophy and geography. With his language skills and knowledge of the outside world, Ma He became a valuable imperial aide to Chinese officials.

By age 12, he was assistant to a young prince named Zhu Di. Ma He accompanied the prince on several military missions. The prince, who later became the emperor Yong Le, became a friend of Ma He. The emperor changed Ma He's name to the honored surname Zheng. Soon after, Zheng He was assigned to lead a fleet of Chinese ships across the Indian Ocean, beginning the career that would make him famous. Zheng He's voyages to new lands opened the door for trade among China, India, and Africa. Many of the Chinese moved abroad to sell Chinese goods. Those who learned and spoke more than one language, like Zheng He, prospered.
