为什么海上贸易没有在中国催生出“重商主义”式的民族国家？
Why didn't maritime trade spawn a mercantilist nation-state in China?
欧洲的重商主义民族国家是在诸侯林立、彼此竞争的格局中形成的；而中国自秦以后就是统一的中央集权官僚帝国，海外贸易被纳入朝贡与官营体系，商人地位在儒家秩序中偏低。强大的统一国家不需要靠海外贸易来“建国”，因此没走上欧洲那种以贸易立国的民族国家道路。
Europe's mercantilist nation-states arose among competing princes who used trade to build power; but China, unified under a centralized bureaucratic empire since Qin, folded overseas commerce into its tributary and state-run systems, and merchants ranked low in the Confucian order. A strong unified state had no need to 'found itself' through maritime trade, so it did not follow Europe's trade-based nation-state path.

中国当时有航海技术，为什么后来又停止了远洋航行？
China had the maritime technology—why did it later stop long-distance voyages?
郑和下西洋后，明朝朝廷逐渐把重心转回北方陆地边防（对抗蒙古威胁），远洋航行耗资巨大却被视为“厚往薄来”、收益不直接。儒家官僚也主张把资源用于内政与防边，加之实施海禁，官方的远洋活动便戛然而止。这是一个财政与战略优先级的抉择，而非技术不行。
After Zheng He's voyages, the Ming court shifted focus back to the northern land frontier (the Mongol threat), and long-distance sailing was judged too costly for its indirect returns. Confucian officials favored spending on internal governance and border defense, and a maritime ban was imposed, ending official ocean-going activity. It was a fiscal and strategic choice of priorities, not a lack of technology.

什么是“朝贡体系”？它和现代国际贸易有何不同？
What was the 'tributary system', and how did it differ from modern international trade?
朝贡体系是周边国家以“进贡”换“回赐”与通商许可的松散秩序，重礼仪与政治承认，而非平等的关税贸易。它更像一种等级化的外交—贸易混合体。
The tributary system let neighboring states 'present tribute' for gifts and trade rights—a loose order stressing ritual and political recognition over equal tariff-based trade. It was a hierarchical blend of diplomacy and commerce.

郑和下西洋和后来欧洲的大航海有什么不同？
How did Zheng He's voyages differ from later European age of exploration?
郑和船队以展示国威、朝贡贸易和建立友好联系为主，不以占领殖民地或掠夺财富为目标；欧洲航行多与贸易垄断、殖民和资源掠夺相连。目的不同，后续走向也不同。
Zheng He's fleets aimed to display prestige, conduct tributary trade and build friendly ties, not to colonize or plunder; European voyages were tied to trade monopolies, colonies and resource extraction. Different aims led to different outcomes.

郑和的船队规模到底有多大？
How large was Zheng He's fleet, really?
据记载，郑和七下西洋的船队常有百余艘船、约两万七千人，宝船长达数十丈，是当时世界上规模最大的远洋船队之一。
Records say Zheng He's seven expeditions often fielded over a hundred ships and about 27,000 people, with treasure ships tens of meters long—among the largest oceangoing fleets of their time.
