The Maritime Silk Road refers to the maritime passage for economic and cultural exchanges between ancient China and other parts of the world. Hayes Road starts from the southeast coast of China, passes through Indian zhina Peninsula and South China Sea countries, crosses the Indian Ocean, enters the Red Sea, and reaches East Africa and Europe. It has become a major maritime channel for trade and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, which has promoted the development of countries along the route. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, China's shipbuilding technology and navigation technology were greatly improved, and the navigation ability of merchant ships was comprehensively improved by the application of compass. During this period, China had direct business contacts with more than 60 countries on the Silk Road in the world, which triggered a great upsurge in the era of navigation in which the western world got a glimpse of oriental civilization.
