  • 東亞海域一千年(增訂新版)

    by 陳國棟 ...
    Series Book 14 - 臺灣史與海洋史
      亞洲海域的周邊孕育著幾個世界上最古老的文明。藉諸大海的聯繫,千百年來,沿海的居民斷斷續續地進行著種種形式的交往。作者陳國棟的研究,在議題上側重於經濟與貿易;在時間軸上先以清代前期的十七、八世紀為重心,再往上、下延伸,涵蓋過往的一千年,嘗試在較長的時空架構下,尋找中國人參與海事活動的軌跡。  本書共收錄論文十五篇,內容依時間先後排序。有考證,有分析;在經濟、貿易之外,更擴及人員的互訪與文化的交流。針對舊的議題,如鄭和下西洋,作者提出新的看法,從追尋蘇木、胡椒與長頸鹿來探討船隊成行的動機;新開發的議題,如在討論中國與東南亞的文化交流中,指出中文常見的「公司」一詞,早在十七世紀以後就已成為馬來文的字根……等,於嚴肅的學術意義之外,別具一般性的趣味。其他文章則涉及中國與東南亞、歐洲地區的交往,特別著重在廣州與廈門的對外貿易所引發的種種問題,對中國在近代初期亞洲的海洋貿易網絡中所扮演的角色 ...
