During the Tang and Song dynasties， the Maritime Silk Road had become an important maritime trade line in the world. China was a major trader on this transportation route and a desirable destination for businessmen seeking their fortune. Merchants seeking wealth sailed merchant ships along the monsoons to ports in China‘s coastal regions to sell goods， buying Chinese specialties such as silk， porcelain and tea， and then selling them at high prices. Merchants could gain a lot of wealth by making a trade trip to China.
