| 摘 要： | 明代将非洲产的长颈鹿比附为麒麟。象征圣王出世的麒麟,成为下西洋期间的重要搜求对象。整理郑和下西洋期间麒麟史料,归纳为以下数端：（1）永乐十二年（1414年）榜葛刺贡麒麟可能与郑和无关;（2）榜葛剌贡麒麟可能促使郑和第四次下西洋西进波斯湾,并促成麻林贡麒麟;（3）郑和第五、六、七次下西洋皆有麒麟史料;（4）宣德八年（1433年）之麒麟贡可能以购自天方者抵充;（5）下西洋远至东非的动机,可能是为了搜求长颈鹿等非洲特产。 |

| Abstract: | The giraffe grown in Africa was mistaken for the Qilin(Chinese unicorn) in the Ming Dynasty.As a symbol of the Holy Emperor on the throne,Qilin became a target of Zheng's scouting navigation.Sorting out the Qilin data of Zheng's grand voyages,we have some important finds: 1.Bengal's Qilin-tribute in 1414 has nothing to do with Zheng He.2.Bengal's Qilin-tribute spurs Zheng on his fourth voyage to the Persian Gulf,and spurs Malindi to pay Qilin as a tribute in 1415.3.All of Zheng's fifth,sixth and seventh voyages kept some historical data about Qilin.4.The giraffe of the Qilin-tribute in the 1433 might be bought from Mecca.5.Searching for African specialties such as giraffes may be one of the reasons why Zheng made his voyage to East Africa. |
