海上丝路是有大量中国商人参加的、与东南亚和南亚土著居民关系极其密切的、对世界古代社会影响巨大的文化汇集之所。郑和七下西洋,其实是中国明朝政府企图取代民间,直接经营海上丝路的尝试。 Maritime Silk Road is a place where a large number of Chinese businessmen participate and has a close relationship with indigenous peoples in Southeast Asia and South Asia and has a great influence on ancient society in the world. In fact, Zheng He and his seven western counterparts were in fact attempts by the Ming government in China to attempt to replace the private sector and directly operate the maritime Silk Road.
