The novelSanbao taijian xia xiyang-ji,a work in one-hundred chapters, written in 1597 by Luo Maodeng, has hitherto received very little attention in scholarly writings. Ostensibly it deals with Zheng He's (1371-1434) seven voyages to southeast Asia and the Persian Gulf between 1405 and l433. However, in the novel these seven voyages are merged into one, interspersed with a considerable amount of material borrowed from popular fiction and both the Buddhist and TaoistTripitakas.The major historical sources used by Luo Maodeng appear to be Ma Huan's Yingyai shenglanand FeiXin's Xingcha shenglan,both of them quoted extensively. It is not possible to identify on the basis of material now extant any other historical sources that might have received sustained use. Indeed, the contents of the novel make it unlikely that other such sources were used. This is supported by the fact that, apart from Zheng He and Wang Jinghong, most of the characters used in the novel either had nothing whatever to do with the voyages or were not historical at all. The former applies to Jin Bifeng, now elevated toguoshi(National Teacher), who lived at the beginning of the Ming dynasty, the latter to the Heavenly Teacher Zhang (Zhang Tianshi). A close study of the novel has led me to the conclusion that its historical value is minimal, and it can only be relied on when supporting material can be found in an independent source. Thus I have been able to show that a "list of tributes", assumed by the late Professor Duyvendak to be a genuine one dating to the year 1410, is in fact made up from several sources, the major one being Ma Huan's work.Probably the list has been made up by Luo Maodeng. In his use of other sources Luo has in every case changed the story in one way or another to suit his plot. Sometimes he has taken unrelated stories current in his own time and merged them into a new one. Nevertheless, as shown in the chapter "Honglian seduces the monk Yutong", the novel sometimes does supply the earliest extant version of a story, and its main value lies in that fact.
