Long before the regular arrivals of Europeans in China, vast armadas were sent to Asia, the Middle East and the African coast, bringing back knowledge of and goods from lands thousands of miles away - gold, gems and foreign fashions. This period also saw the compilation of a colossal literary work, produced by over 2000 scholars and filling 11,095 large volumes; the establishing of Beijing as the capital; the undertaking of ambitious building projects such as the Forbidden City; and the creation of exquisite porcelains, gold wares, jewellery, jades, lacquer, furniture, paintings, sculptures and textiles.
