Yuan Dynasty, though surviving for no more than 100 years, left several records concerning maritime contacts. During the reign of Kublai Khan (1271-1294), the Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, diplomatic contacts between India and China were most prolific. According to Yuan Shi (*History of the Yuan Dynasty*), from 1272 to 1294, Yuan Dynasty sent envoys to India 11 times while various Indian kingdoms sent envoys to China 13 times.
