I think the expedions because that made them have more silk, gold and other goods. He also made people fear china by showing how rich they were. That is why he gave away goods for free.

I agree with Victoria because people would have found China and would have just attacked but since he did this China was not attacked by people across the ocean.

I disagree because of what the next emperor of China did to shut it off from the rest of the world. Also because you can visit the forbidden city today.

I think Zheng He was a greater accomplishment because it showed China's wealth and power. I believe this because without it China's advancements in Ships building would have been lowered. I also believe this because this expedition made people fear Chna

I think that the building of the Forbidden city was the best achievement of the Ming dynasty because the explorations of Zheng He where amazing but became useless after the emperor died. Then the next emperor shut China off from the rest of the world. Therefore nobody ever knew of China so they were not a power any more.

I do agree with Nico that the Forbidden City of course had an impact on China, but I think that Zheng He's expeditions had a better impact at the time. I think that because they gained riches, were feared by others, and more just because of Zheng he.

You make a really good point on how The Great Wall of China shut them off from the rest of the world. I disagree on how it was useless after the emperor died. The explorations did still have an affect on China.

I think the expeditions of Zheng He was a better accomplishment of the Ming dynsaty. He showed people that China was wealthy and powerful by giving them free silk, gold, and silver so many respected and feared China.

I agree with you, Cara. Zheng He did show people that China was so wealth by giving away free silk, gold, and silver. An effect of this was so many people feared China. DO you think that if Zheng He did not give away free items, would people be intimidated by him?

I agree with you because there were so many people that feared and yet, respected China at the same time. China was so rich that they literally gave away expensive things for free, that would cost thousands today. I believe other countries feared China because of that. Also I think another reason people feared China was because of how powerful Zheng He' s army and ships were.

I think Zheng He's exploration is the most important.I mean sereously he got 300 boats with 25000-27000 total people!Also...he brought a giraffe to his emperor,all the forbidden city did is work the skill less to death(exaggeration)and banish the common folk out even if some worked SO HARD just to carry it to point A to point B.at least I HOPE they got an award for it!

I agree with you Zach because the Forbiden city is just a place where people could build later on in life. Zheng He did show that China was powerful and how wealthy China was.

I think that the expeditions of Zheng He was a better accomplishment because the trips that he took showed how wealthy China was at that particular time in history. He gave away gold and other goods to other countries for free. His expeditions made people fear China. Also, how his boats were built, shipped off, and used for was very interesting.

I partially agree. Zheng He showed how wealthy China was but so did the Forbidden City. The City showed how strong the leaders were. But I do understand what you mean about Zheng He showing China´s wealth at the time.

I think the expeditions of Zheng He was more of an accomplishment because of a few reasons. One reason is because they gained riches like silk and or goods. Another reason is people feared China which was a good thing because of Zheng He.

I think that the Forbidden City was the best accomplishment because it really showed how powerful China was at the time. They had very complex building skills and architecture. The builders knew what they were doing and that is what made the City so successful.

I think Zheng He expeditions was a better accomplishment. I think this because they sent over 25,000 men and went to other places and gave then gold silver and silk for free. They did this so the other countries would be scared because how wealthy they are and so they can have more trading routes.

I believe that the expeditions of Zheng He were a better accomplishment in the Ming Dynasty. They did not allow normal citizens to enter the Forbidden City, only the rulers and government officials. The expeditions showed other people how powerful China was. This effected all of China, including the normal citizens.

I think Zheng He's expiditions were more important. I think that the expiditons of Zheng He were more important because he made China more rich and powerful. Because of this enimies feared china. The expiditions of Zheng He also helped china with ship building, although it killed so many people during the construction, it still helped china in so many ways. That is why I think The expiditions of Zheng He were more important than the Forbidden City.

I think the forbidden city was a bigger accomplishment because it took highly skilled workers to make. Plus they had three barriers you had to get through with double walls, and amazing archers. Just the size of it is what makes it amazing, it is a huge palace with a bunch of homes for the government and a barraks with a forest right next to it.

I think the forbidden city was the most important acomplishment made by the Ming dynasty. Only the Emperor and the highest ranking officials were allowed there.The walls were 35 feet tall to keep the enemies out.
