true?

Answer 1

False. Chinese junks were some of the most technologically advanced ships of their time, but they could carry many more than just 5 people at a time. They were capable of carrying hundreds of passengers and large amounts of cargo. Additionally, junks were equipped with multiple masts and sails for propulsion, rather than relying solely on oarsmen. These innovations indeed contributed greatly to China's prosperity during the Tang and Song dynasties.
