郑和(公元1371——1435年),是我国明代伟大的航海家,也是世界航海史上杰出的先驱者。 从公元1405年(永乐三年)到1433年(宣德八年)间,郑和奉派率领强大的船队,七下西洋,巡行南洋群岛、印度洋、波斯湾、红海,直到亦道以南的非州东部海岸一带,在海上活动了近三十年,访问了亚州、非州三十多国。 南京与郑和有着十分密切的关系,这里是他“七下西洋”的基地,留存不少重要的史迹。其中最重要的是位于城西北下关三叉河及中保村一带的龙江宝船厂遗址。郑和当时访问亚、非各国所乘座的巨大宝船,绝大部分是由这座船厂制造的。那里范围广阔,至今船坞遗迹宛然,水塘陂堤相连。此外,挹江门北狮子山下的静海寺,是明成祖为了纪念郑和等人第二次航海平安归来,而于公元1411年(永乐九年)修建的。
