Abstract

Intercultural communication has its long history when viewed as human phenomenon. The development of intercultural communication has facilitated the world progress and people’s contact in many ways as economy, politics, education, ideology, religion and etc. In the history, some important events changed the face of the world such as the Great Discovery and the Industrial Revolution. It is those events that have made the world become smaller and smaller, which culminated what is we call Global Village. In this paper, the author aims at cultivating awareness and enhancing understanding of intercultural communication from the perspectives of Chinese culture by taking example of Zheng He’s voyages to the western seas. In addition, the paper is intended to value the influence on the world brought about by Zheng He who led his large fleet to explore in the Ming Dynasty, which demonstrated the contribution to the development of intercultural communication.
