Features: The development of China's maritime cause once had a glorious history with Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean. However, subsequent feudal rulers closed their doors and imposed strict restrictions, stifling the spirit of the Chinese nation's exploration and (initiative) towards the ocean. Especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the policy of sea prohibition was enforced for over 400 years, causing the Chinese nation to repeatedly miss out on development opportunities triggered by maritime civilization. The publication of this book will play a positive role in promoting China's maritime culture, enhancing the national maritime awareness and coastal defense consciousness, and inspiring military personnel and young people to dedicate themselves to the great cause of loving, building, and defending the ocean.
