navigator was Zheng He.He lived from 1371 to 1433 and made seven voyages around the South China Sea,across to India and even as far as the eastern coast of Africa.It was the 600th anniversary of these voyages in 2005.CM:Are there other famous Chinese navigators or is he the only one?2021/8/11 星期三5 LH:He is the only one weve got evidence for.CM:So there may have been others?LH:We dont know.Thats because a later Emperor may have destroyed a lot of evidence of other voyages.CM:I see.Where did Zheng He go?LH:The documents tell us that he was born in Yunnan.He built a pillar to record his achievements.It states that he made seven voyages and visited more than thirty countries.2021/8/11 星期三6 He said that the Emperor ordered him to show the strength of Chinese power and meet foreigners from beyond the seas.So he went to unknown places and set up trade.CM:Tell me about his voyages.LH:Well,on his first voyage he visited Calicut in India.The people there were very impressed and a little frightened when they saw so many large ships.So the ruler wisely decided to make friends with these strangers.2021/8/11 星期三7 He gave Zheng He many scarves made of gold and decorated with jewels.Then he entertained him and his men with music and songs.CM:Did he go to other places?LH:Yes,on other voyages he visited Champa,and Sumatra near China,Hormuz,and Aden in the Persian Gulf and Mogadishu in Africa.Zheng He opened diplomatic relations with them and gave them presents.2021/8/11 星期三8 CM:What did the Chinese offer as gifts?LH:Zheng He found that foreign kings particularly admired Chinese porcelain and silk.So thats why his ships were filled with those things.CM:I see.Is that why they say his ships were so large?LH:Yes,t suppose so.When he returned from India he brought a giraffe for the Emperor as a present.So his ships must have been large.CM:Some writers say that the ships could carry as many as 20,000 people altogether.2021/8/11 星期三9 LH:And other writers say Zheng He was eight feet tall!We shouldnt believe everything writers tell us.Obviously they wanted to show how important Zheng He was.Undoubtedly the ships were large-but perhaps not that large!CM:I see.That makes sense.Well,thank you for telling me about Zheng He.He sounds a fascinating man.Answers may vary.2021/8/11 星期三10 Listen to the tape for the first time and tick those ports and islands

星期三17Possible arguments for the voyages Possible arguments against the voyages The government can remove pirates from the seas.Then they can tax the traders more.Armies to the north of China are a constant and very real threat.They had wars with the Chinese army in the past and may do so again if China is not prepared.2021/8/11 星期三18The voyages are very impressive and make people in distant lands recognize the greatness of China.To defend China against the armies from the north is very costly and needs many soldiers.There will be no money for a fleet.If we do not continue the voyages we will lose diplomatic and trading connections.There is little reason to continue foreign trade.China is so large that it does not need foreign trade to develop economically.2021/8/11 星期三19 Sample debate(Em=Emperor)Em:Those against the voyages may make their arguments now.S 1:Your Excellency,we would like to suggest that you do not continue with these voyages.They are expensive and take many soldiers,who could be protecting Chinese borders,away on trading expeditions.This means our people are left exposed to attacks by armies from the north.2021/8/11 星期三20 S2:We are a great country and do not need to trade with other foreign countries to succeed economically.Selling goods within our borders is quite enough to secure our future.So,Your Excellency,there seems to be no reason to continue these voyages.Em:Thank you.Now let me hear the arguments of those who want these voyages to continue.2021/8/11 星期三21 S3:Thank you,Your Excellency.These voyages are very impressive and many people are now able to recognize the greatness of China.They help build diplomatic relations with other countries.What is more,we can co-operate with other countries to clear the South China Sea of pirates and other troublesome people.S4:In addition these links can help us with our foreign trade.We can sell many things to these countries.Their rulers often ask for more silk and porcelain goods and are very eager for our2021/8/11 星期三22 friendship and co-operation.With our foreign trade connections we can increase our position in this area and spread our influence even wider.Em:Thank you for your advice.I have thought for a long time on this matter and I agree that trade with other countries is good.We can use this opportunity to spread the greatness of China and to increase our influence in this region.It would also help our people if we cleared the South China Sea of pirates.They cause difficulties to our fishermen and traders2021/8/11 星期三23 and hurt many innocent lives.As for our northern border,I will secure that by using other troops and make sure we will be secure in the future.Thank you for your help.The voyages will continue!2021/8/11 星期三24 Look at each sentence.Complete it with a
