Iihambo zikaAdmiral Zheng He

Imibuliso evela eSingapore. Ndilapha ukuza kuzimasa I-World Oceans Summit ibhalwe ngu The Economist.

Ngomhla wam wenguqu phakathi kweeyure ze-21 zokubhabha ukuya apha kunye nokuqala kwenkomfa, ndatya isidlo sasemini kunye nombhali kunye nomqeqeshi ophezulu ophezulu u-Alison Lester kwaye ndancokola ngomsebenzi wakhe, kunye nencwadi yakhe entsha yeRestroom Reflections: Indlela uNxibelelwano olutshintsha ngayo yonke into (ekhoyo. yeKindle kwiAmazon).

Okulandelayo, ndandingxamele ukunduluka ndiye kubona iSingapore entsha kraca Imyuziyam yamava aseLwandle kunye neAquarium (ivulwe kuphela kwiinyanga ezi-4 ezidlulileyo). Ndifike ndajoiner kula queue for the admission ticket, ndithe ndisame emgceni yabuza indoda enxibe uniform yabuza ukuba ndingubani, ndingowaphi, bendizondwendwela ntoni na. watsho endikhapha . . . Into elandelayo endiyaziyo, ndinikwa utyelelo lobuqu lwe-MEMA.

Imyuziyam yakhiwe malunga nohambo luka-Admiral Zheng He ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1400 kunye nendlela yesilika yaselwandle eyaphuhliswa phakathi kweTshayina kunye nezizwe ezikude njengeMpuma Afrika. Imyuziyam iphawula ukuba wayengowokuqala ukufumanisa iMelika, kodwa ukuba iirekhodi zatshatyalaliswa. Imyuziyam ibandakanya imifuziselo yeenqanawa zobuncwane, inxenye yobukhulu obupheleleyo obuyifanisiweyo, kunye nokugxila kwimpahla ethengisiweyo kwindlela yesilika yaselwandle. Isikhokelo sam sikhomba kuphondo loRhino kunye namabamba endlovu kwaye siphawula ukuba awasathengiswa ngenxa yamaqela alwela amalungelo ezilwanyana. Kwangokunjalo, undibonisa umkhandi wenyoka waseIndiya, ingobozi yayo kunye nefleyiti (echaza ukuba iCobra's ithoni yesithulu, kwaye kukungcangcazela kwethanga logwali okwenza isilwanyana sidanise); kodwa uqaphele ukuba lo mkhuba ngoku uvaliwe ngenxa yamaqela amalungelo ezilwanyana. Kodwa uninzi lwezinye iimveliso ziyamangalisa ukubona kwaye kunomdla ukufunda apho zivela khona kwaye ixesha elide kuthengiswa - iziqholo, amatye anqabileyo, isilika, iibhasikithi kunye neeporcelains phakathi kwezinye iimpahla ezininzi.

Imyuziyam iye yakha ngokutsha Ngenkulungwane ye-9 Omani Dhow kumboniso ngaphakathi kwimyuziyam, kunye nezinye iinqanawa ezimbini zengingqi zibotshelelwe ngaphandle ekuqaleni kwezibuko leenqanawa eliyimbali. Ezinye ezintathu kufuneka ziziswe zisuka eSingapore (imyuziyam ikwiSentosa), kwaye iza kongezwa kungekudala, kubandakanywa neNdawo yaseTshayina. Imyuziyam igcwele imiboniso echubekileyo enentsebenziswano. Uninzi lwazo zikuvumela ukuba uthumele nge-imeyile umzamo wakho ogqityiweyo (njengokuyila ipateni yakho yelaphu) kuwe. Kwakhona inamava e-typhoon ebandakanya phantse i-3D, i-360o degree (efanisiweyo) ifilimu yenqanawa yamandulo yaseTshayina yempahla elahlekileyo kwiNkanyamba. Yonke imiboniso iyashukuma, incwina yokhuni olukhenkcezayo, kwaye xa amaza egqabhuka emacaleni enqanawa sonke sifafazwa ngamanzi anetyuwa.

Njengoko sisuka kwindawo yemidlalo yeqonga, singena kwigalari eboniswe kakuhle kwi-archeology engaphantsi kwamanzi kunye nokuphuka kweenqanawa kulo mmandla. Yenziwe kakuhle ngokumangalisayo kwaye icaciswe kakuhle (uphawu oluhle kakhulu). Owona mzuzu ubalulekileyo, owandothusayo ngokupheleleyo, kukuba sifika ekoneni kwaye elinye ibhinqa eliselula limi ngakwitafile egqunywe zizinto zakudala zokwaphuka kweenqanawa. Ndinikwa iiglavu zotyando emva koko ndimenywe ukuba ndithabathe kwaye ndijonge iqhekeza ngalinye. Ukususela kwinkanunu encinane yesandla (eyayisetyenziswa de kwaba malunga nowe-1520), ukuya kwibhokisi yomgubo yomfazi, ukuya kutsho kwiingceba ezahlukeneyo zodongwe. Zonke izinto ziqikelelwa ukuba zineminyaka engama-500 ubudala, kwaye ezimbalwa ziphindwe kathathu kunobudala. Yenye into ukuyijonga kwaye ulungele ngembali, yenye into ukuyibamba ngesandla.

Inxalenye ye-aquarium ye-MEMA icwangciselwe ukuvulwa kamva kulo nyaka, kwaye iza kuba yeyona inkulu eyakha yakhiwa, kwaye iya kudityaniswa nepaki yaselwandle ene-Orca kunye nabadlali bedolphin (ipaki ikwacetywe ukuba ibe yeyona inkulu emhlabeni). Xa ndabuza imibuzo eyahlukeneyo malunga nokuba yintoni umxholo, umkhokeli wam ngokunyaniseka wathi ngenxa yokuba thina e-USA sineendawo ezihlala emanzini kunye neepaki zaselwandle, naye wacinga ukuba kufanele. Wayengazi ngejografi okanye omnye umxholo we-aquarium. . . Wayeqonda kakuhle ukuba kukho ukuphikisana ngokubeka izilwanyana kwindawo yokubonisa, ngakumbi ukuba ziza kuba ngabadlali. Kwaye, ngelixa abanye benu besenokungavumelani malunga nokuba iipaki zaselwandle zifanele ukubakho konke konke, ndaqala ngengcinga yokuba le ngcamango yayikude kakhulu endleleni. Ke, ngocoselelo oluninzi, namagama ozakuzo ndamqinisekisa ukuba ukubeka izilwanyana embonisweni kuhlala kuphela kwendlela abantu abaqhelana ngayo nezidalwa zaselwandle. Ngamanye amazwi, abo babeboniswa babengoonozakuzaku babo basendle. KODWA, ukuba kwakufuneka bakhethe ngobulumko. Izidalwa kwakufuneka zibe zezo zininzi endle, ukuze ukukhupha ezimbalwa kungathinteli okanye kuthintele ezo ziseleyo endle ekubeni zizale zize zizithabathele indawo yazo ngomlinganiselo okhawulezayo kunokususwa kwazo. KUNYE, ukuba ukuthinjwa kufuneka kube nobuntu kakhulu kwaye kuqinisekiswe ukuba kuya kubakho imfuneko encinci yokuhamba kwaye uvune izilwanyana ezininzi zokubonisa.

Ngomso iyaqala intlanganiso!
