摘要
郑和七下西洋四赴非洲,是古代中非交流史的巅峰。郑和下西洋到访非洲史实确凿无疑。非洲学界和政界普遍肯定郑和下西洋之史实,称赞其是中非友好交流的象征和文明互鉴的楷模。非洲之外的一些人质疑郑和下西洋,并无史实支撑。新形势下,中非学界携手破除“西方中心论”,弘扬“仁和为先、宽容开阔、以义统利、太平共享”的郑和精神,不但可为当代非洲“向东看”和中非高质量共建“一带一路”夯实历史根基,而且将为中外文化交流和文明互鉴树立典范。
Zheng He’s seven voyages,of which four were to Africa,were the pinnacle of the ancient history of Sino-African exchanges.There is no doubt about the historical fact that Zheng He visited Africa during his voyages.African scholars and politicians generally acknowledge Zheng He’s voyage to Africa as a symbol of friendship and exchange between China and Africa and as a model of mutual appreciation of civilizations.However,some people outside Africa have questioned Zheng He’s voyages,without any historical support.In the new situation,Chinese and African scholars should work together to break “West-centrism” and promote the Zheng He spirit of “benevolence and harmony,tolerance and openness,righteousness over profit,peace and sharing,” which will not only lay a solid historical foundation for contemporary Africa to “look East” and for China and Africa to build the high quality “Belt and Road Initiative,” but also set an example for cultural exchange and mutual appreciation between Chinese and foreign civilizations.
