| With the initiative of "One Belt,One Road",its joint construction and vigorous promotion,especially the "Five Links" proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping,the research related to Zheng He’s visit to the West China Sea has received more and more attention.Xing Cha Sheng Lan was recorded by Fei Xin in the Ming Dynasty after he accompanied Zheng He to the West,and it is a comprehensive and systematic first-hand source for studying the history of Zheng He’s visit to the West,which has important historical value.Therefore,the re-examination and interpretation of Xing Cha Sheng Lan from the perspective of the history of science and technology and culture is not only of great theoretical value but also of considerable practical significance.In Xing Cha Sheng Lan,the geographic situation,climate and architecture,products and trade,customs and people,and religious beliefs of forty-five countries or regions in the West are all briefly described.It can be seen that Xing Cha Sheng Lan is not only a precious historical manuscript,but also an all-embracing compendium of human geography,which contains information on various aspects of the history of science and technology,and its historical value cannot be underestimated.This project attempts to summarize and reinterpret the geographical information of science and technology in Xing Cha Sheng Lan by summarizing and integrating it from the perspective of geography.As for the systematic study of Xing Cha Sheng Lan,previous works are fragmentary and lack comprehensive and as detailed a study as possible.This paper focuses on a comparative study to analyze the unique features of Xing Cha Sheng Lan and to provide a new perspective for the study of the literature.The edition of Fei’s book that is referred to in this paper is the currently accepted version of Feng Chengjun’s Xing Cha Sheng Lan.The second chapter examines the background of the book Xing Cha Sheng Lan,and examines the social and cultural backgrounds;the third and fourth chapters identify the relevant contents in the book according to the physical,economic,and human geography of geography,and summarize them from each country and region.The third and fourth chapters identify the relevant contents in the book according to the classification of physical geography,economic geography and human geography of geography,and summarize the records from each country and region in more and more detail in terms of geography and climate,technology and technology,products and trade,customs and people.In the context of the Zheng He’s Atlantic voyage in the Ming Dynasty,the book compares the geography of the same period with Ying Ya Sheng Lan,Xi Yang Fan Guo Zhi,and Dao Yi Zhi Lue of the previous dynasty in both horizontal and vertical dimensions,and analyzes the characteristics of the geographic contents reflected in the book,and compares and discusses with other documents of the same type.The story of human beings and their environment in Xing Cha Sheng Lan has been recorded in history,and this book is undoubtedly the best material for studying issues related to the Belt and Road from the perspective of either evolutionary or historical geography.This book is undoubtedly the best material for studying issues related to "One Belt,One Road".Thus,the book Xing Cha Sheng Lan has left a valuable legacy for future generations to understand the overseas world. |
