China has a long maritime history, and its development is as follows: As early as the late Neoliths about 7000 years ago, the ancestors of the Chinese people used fire and stone axes to start the prototype of primitive rafts sailing on the sea. During the Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Spring and Autumn Warring States periods, wooden sailing ships appeared, and China began to have large-scale maritime transportation and maritime warfare. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, ships gradually became larger, and sailing techniques also became more mature. For example, Xu Fu's fleet of the Qin Dynasty sailed east to Japan, and the ships of the Western Han Dynasty reached the Indian Ocean. During the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the China fleet sailed to the Persian Gulf. From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the maritime industry was very prosperous. The maritime Silk Road extended to the Red Sea and the Cape of Good Hope in East Africa. During the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty under the rule of the Mongol Empire attached great importance to the maritime industry. The fleet sailed to Japan, North Korea, India, the Persian Gulf and other places, promoting the maritime industry to enter a new stage and promoting cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. The Ming Dynasty was the heyday of the maritime industry. Zheng He led a huge fleet to the West Ocean seven times, as far as the east coast of Africa, the Red Sea and other places. His fleet size, number of ships, routes, technology, etc. were leading the world at that time. At the same time, he actively participated in local affairs and improved the relationship between China and foreign countries. However, in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to the Ming and Qing Dynasties 'closed-door policy, the maritime industry declined from prosperity. During the semi-colonial and semi-feudal period, the maritime industry lost its sovereignty. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the maritime industry had new developments. Since modern times, it had made rapid progress in science and technology, national defense, and economy. Especially after the reform and opening up, it actively participated in international shipping cooperation, developed the maritime economy, and became a major shipping country in the world. It had also made remarkable achievements in marine resource research, marine environmental protection, and polar scientific exploration. Since the first time it participated in the evacuation of overseas Chinese in 1961, China Ocean shipping has taken on dozens of large-scale overseas evacuation operations, demonstrating the responsibility of central enterprises. At present, China's shipping volume accounted for about 26% of the world's total. The port size, number of crew members, shipbuilding output, and shipping fleet size were among the top in the world.
