Abstract：Same as a coast-and-land dual country, the formation of French modern sea power has important reference value for China's maritime power construction. At the beginning of the 17th century, faced with the requirements to build a strong maritime power, Richelieu, Prime Minister of France, proposed and implemented a distinctive thought on sea power. Richelieu's thought was mainly embodied in the systematic exploration into naval strategy and strategic principles, covering the following three aspects: understanding, construction and deployment of maritime power. Richelieu's thought on sea power provided a direct guidance to practices of the construction of French maritime power, promoted the renewal of French traditional marine concepts and national defense as a traditional landbased country and provided enlightenment for the development of naval strategy in France and the world. Richelieu's thought on sea power is a systematic thought of sea power which proposed by a traditional land-based country in the world for the first time. Its content not only provides enlightenment for other coast-and-land dual countries to crack the dilemma of developing sea power encountered by them, but also provides reference for the traditional maritime power.
