▶ Your Answer : In the reading passage, there is an ample
support for the author’s claim that Chinese had already adventured America prior
to the arrival of the Columbus in 1492. However the professor in the lecture
gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author’s point.
First, the professor contends that the old
Chinese map is fake and it is made later than the time the Columbus found the
America in 1492. Also it is a map which was just translated in Chinese, which
means that it was not the original Chinese map. This casts doubt on the reading
passage’s claim that there is an old Chinese map that already represented the
America in 1418 before Columbus explored the America.
Next, the professor insists that the
presence of pre-columbian Chinese artifacts does not prove enough that Chinese
found the America before the Columbus. He gives an example of Viking as there
are clear evidences of Viking trace but there are only few obscure evidences of
trace of Chinese. He said coin and bead are not enough to verify that Chinese
artifacts prove that Chinese searched America prior to Columbus’ finding. This
counters the reading passage’s assertion that the existence of pre-Columbus Chinese
relic validates that the Chinese discovered America before Columbus
Finally, the professor argues that the it
is a coincidence that same lacquering technique was used in Mexico and it does
not mean that Chinese discovered a America, with giving an example of pyramid,
which tells that although the pyramid in Egypt and America is analogous, it
does not prove that there are any contacts between two of those countries. This
refutes the reading passage’s suggestion that since the traditional Chinese
lacquering technique was used in the Mexico, it displays that advent of Chinese
in America was prior to the advent of Columbus.
