Legendary Port of the Maritime Silk Routes: Zayton (Quanzhou) is a book of Asian premodern maritime history from global perspectives. The book is targeted at learners and students of China study in the field of literature relating to the knowledge of premodern maritime history and cultural exchange among South Fujian in coastal China, the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and beyond connected with Maritime Silk Trade Routes. The maritime paradigm is therefore central to the understanding of the transcultural character of this legendary port and its enlightenment to the win-win cooperative solution to the bottleneck of globalization
“Instead of addressing Chinese history through the usual land-based perspective, the city of Quanzhou is envisioned as a space where trade and cultures have created a specific blend that can showcase Quanzhou as a city open to diversities. In this construction, the link between geography, anthropology, economics and history is carefully chartered, allowing us to grasp how this specific blend of Chinese culture, influenced by sea trade and cultural exchanges through oceanic commerce, has been able to develop through centuries. A work one cannot miss when exploring Chinese history and the past and present silk routes narrative.”—Dr. Khal Torabully, Franco-Mauritian semiologist, poet, founder of the House of Wisdom (Fez-Granada) and co-author of academic bestseller Coolitude
“The author’s insightful exploration of the Maritime Silk Route is much more than just an account of the ancient world’s greatest global trade network. Much more importantly, it sheds light on the values and priorities that, from time immemorial, have led Chinese to emphasize peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial trade—values that are more important than ever in today’s every shrinking global community.”—Dr. Bill Brown, Academic Director, OneMBA, School of Management, Xiamen University
“[This book] presents a panorama of maritime Quanzhou of coastal China between the tenth and fourteenth centuries and its trans-cultural character of this legendary port. The author applies a maritime paradigm and a diachronic approach to relating the maritime past of Quanzhou with its modern revival in the globalization context.”—Dr. Doudou Diene, Chair of the Board of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, Former Director of the UNESCO Division of Intercultural and Inter-Religious Dialogue and Coordinator of the UNESCO Integral Study of the Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue
