ORDER YOUR PAPER AND GET QUALITY FOR YOUR MONEY

Please select FOUR identifications from the list below. Type a paragraph for each of the identifications you have selected describing the date (narrowed down to a decade), the definition (who/what it is), and the historical significance of the term. Include a minimum of two quotes per identification from the Premodern East Asia text, primary sources posted in Canvas, and/or the class lectures from each module. You do not need to do outside research to complete your answers so do not quote from other outside sources for your answers. Each identification answer should be typed into one of the four text boxes provided on the exam.Include an analysis of the quotes and appropriate Chicago-style citations for each identification. These citations should include superscript numbers at the end of quoted sentences that align with correspondingly numbered citations at the end of each identification. Please be sure to put your answers in your own words. Do not cut and paste your answers from Internet sources or submit the work of another student (or you will receive a zero). If you participated in a study group, this is an additional reminder that you must submit your own original work for the exam. If you turn in the work of another student, you will receive a zero.FOR EXAMPLE:For citing your sources, remember to include a superscript number at the end of each sentence that includes a quote. At the bottom of your post, provide the source list for each numbered quote. In order to make a superscript number, click on the T2 button on the menu bar and then type in the appropriate number. To switch back to normal font, just click on the T2 button again. You can use the term “Ibid.” if you quote from the same source in sequential order.Identification: Zheng HeDate: 1371-1433Definition: Zheng He was a Muslim eunuch who would rise up to become a naval commander during the reign of Emperor Yongle who governed over the Ming Empire of China. He led seven naval expeditions to regions around Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf, and the eastern coast of Africa. The scale of these undertakings was extraordinary as indicated in Premodern East Asia, with the first voyage including a “fleet of 317 ships, of which 62 were huge ‘treasure ships,’ reportedly 440 feet long. Each expedition involved from twenty thousand to thirty-two thousand men, including sailors, soldiers, navigators, doctors, and laborers.”1 Contacts with societies abroad would ultimately lead to tributary exchanges but not the establishment of an overseas colonial empire. The voyages were abandoned as more immediate threats emerged closer to home and “officials complained of the cost of the expeditions.”2The rudders, masts, and watertight compartments of ships in Zheng He’s fleet represent the technological sophistication of the Ming naval armada that was the largest in the world at that time. Zheng He’s expeditions also “testified to the power of the Ming” and highlighted the sweeping political and economic power of China in the early fifteenth century.3 The withdrawal of government support for these expeditions however would lead to a new chapter in the Ming Empire during an era where European overseas explorations would change the course of world history.Patricia Ebrey and Anne Walthall.
