| Abstract | In April 1984, a relic of ship component used in Ming governmental shipbuilding was unearthed during sediment removal at Penglai 蓬萊 Water Fortress (referred to as the harbour of Dengzhou 登州 in the pre-modern age), Shandong 山東. This relic of 8.2 m long was a zitan紫檀 wood rudderstock with an inscription “Sixth Month of the Tenth Year of Yongle Reign 永樂 of Ming” (1412). Starting from the rudderstock, the lecture delineates the history of Chinese seafaring, shipbuilding and the making of sea chart from Tang Dynasty to Zheng He’s 鄭和 voyages in the Ming and reveals the influence of Chinese seafaring technology over countries of East Asia. |
