自永乐三年(1405)至宣德八年(1433),郑和先后七次奉命率领庞大的远洋舰队出海远航。舰队规模达到240多艘船舰,船员及官兵两万七千余人,毫无疑问是当时世界上最强大的舰队。郑和的远洋舰队访问了30多个西太平洋和印度洋的国家及地区,包括爪哇、苏门答腊、苏禄、彭亨、真腊、古里、暹罗、阿丹、天方、左法尔、忽鲁谟斯、木骨都束等国,最远曾达非洲东海岸、红海、麦加,甚至可能到过今天的澳大利亚。
Since Yongle three years (1405) to Xuande eight years (1433), Zheng He has been ordered seven times to lead a huge ocean-going fleet to sea voyage. The fleet size reached more than 240 ships, crew and officers and 27000 people, no doubt the world’s most powerful fleet. Zheng He’s ocean-going fleet has visited more than 30 countries and regions in the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans including Java, Sumatra, Sulu, Pahang, Reala, Guri, Siam, Adan, Tefang, Zofar, Sri Lanka, Bombs and other countries, the farthest up to reach the east coast of Africa, the Red Sea, Mecca, and may even have been to Australia today.
