Under the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, China's maritime trade went through several stages of rapid expansion. This concerned both activities initiated by the central government and private seafaring: Chinese ships would sail to ports in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean and foreign merchants would come to China, often declaring themselves as tribute envoys. In the early 16th century, the Portuguese made contact with the Middle Kingdom, leading to the foundation of Macao in the 1550s. This volume explores important structural features related to China's maritime ventures and Luso-Chinese relations. It also discusses the perception of maritime space in late medieval Chinese texts and the importance of trade routes, especially the so-called eastern route from Fujian via Luzon to the Sulu "zone". The third section presents different "key" regions as seen through Chinese eyes: Hainan, the coral island in the South China Sea, Barus on Sumatra and finally Wang Dayuan's chapters on the Kerala coast.
