During the Chengzu period of the Ming Dynasty, a private fleet was formed, with the trans-oceanic voyage fleet as the main narrative line, bringing together sailors from the Ming Dynasty, Annan, Thailand, Korea, Japan, Africa, Arabia, Europe, Maya and other ethnic groups. In order to prove that the earth is round, the story of the voyage started from Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty and returned to Suzhou for a week. The long windless ocean has given rise to intense nostalgia. The host Shen Zhijin and a group of companions have used food gatherings, starry sky art, and deck competitions to relieve loneliness, allowing different civilizations to comfort each other and coexist.
After three months of solitary voyage, the fleet arrived in Guam. Forced by food shortages, they put aside their thoughts of returning north immediately and headed south to the Australian mainland for supplies. They encountered unique scenery such as kangaroos and eucalyptus. They exchanged skills with the Australian indigenous people and were given boomerangs. They then sailed through the Torres and Mindanao straits and saw the homeland of Luzon.
The book takes the vast sea as the stage, depicts the warmth of the world through sailing decisions and encounters in foreign lands, and conveys the vision of a unified world in which all races put aside their barriers, coexist as equals, and are interconnected among civilizations. It combines the wonders of the ocean scenery with the warmth of humanity.
Purpose: Symbiosis in the Four Seas and Harmony in the World: Taking the ocean-going fortune ship as a microcosm of the world, people of all ethnic groups from the Ming Dynasty, Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe, America, and Australia put aside the barriers of skin color, region, and customs to accompany each other as equals and exchange good things and skills. It interprets the ideal of peace that all races can coexist in a friendly way, and entrusts the vision of great harmony in which all nations have no disputes and mutual appreciation of civilizations.
