Yingyai Shenglan
<templatestyles src="Stack/styles.css"/>
The Yingya Shenglan (simplified Chinese: 瀛涯胜览; traditional Chinese: 瀛涯勝覽; pinyin: yíng yá shèng lǎn), written by Ma Huan, is a book about the countries visited by him over the course of Zheng He's treasure voyages.
There is no known extant version of the original Yingyai Shenglan.[1] However, copies of Ma's work have been preserved, even though these copies contain differences due to later editors.[2] These include the Jilu Huibian [紀錄彙編] version (1617),[lower-alpha 1] the Guochao Diangu [國朝典故] version (between 1451 and 1644),[lower-alpha 2] the Shengchao Yishi [勝朝遺事] version (1824),[lower-alpha 3] and Zhang Sheng's so-called "rifacimento" (1522).[lower-alpha 4]
Ma served as an interpreter on the fourth, sixth, and seventh voyage.[5][6] Guo Chongli was Ma's collaborator on the Yingyai Shenglan.[7] He personally participated in three of the expeditions.[7] These two gentlemen recorded their observations in notes, which were used to compose the Yingyai Shenglan.[7]
