摘　　要：通过对十五世纪中、西方远航船队的比较 ,昭示世人郑和船队的伟大。通过对郑和下西洋目的的辨析 ,阐明了明成祖朱棣和明宣宗朱瞻基派遣郑和下西洋的真实意图 ,追求“天下共主”的虚名和“贸采琛异”的耗费 ,给明朝社会经济带来了沉重打击。这是“埋葬”Through a comparison of the Chinese oceangoing fleet with the Western one in the fifteenth century, this paper is intended to show the power of Zheng He's fleet to the people all over the world. With an analysis of the purpose of Zheng He's expeditions to the West by sea, it also states the real intention of the emperors, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji in the Ming dynasty, about why they sent Zheng He there. To seek the undeserved reputation of 'emperorship of the whole world' and purchase a lot of jewelry, rare birds, rare animals and various perfume, the emperors spent a large amount of money, which gave a heavy blow to the social and economic development in the Ming dynasty. This is the basic reason of why Zheng He's fleet encountered 'its failure' in the end.
