在东亚地区,存在着渤海、黄海、东海、台湾海峡等诸多海域,因此自古以来,这个地域中的相互交流,很大程度上依靠各种船舶来实现。从14世纪到20世纪初期,帆船在东亚海域中非常活跃,一直是货物运输和文化交流的主要媒介之一。日本著名学者松浦章先生的著作《明清时代东亚海域的文化交流》正是以中国帆船为切人点,以“海域亚洲”的视角,对东亚范围内所进行的文化活动,尤其是14到20世纪初期的一系列文化交流和接触进行了深入研究。 In East Asia, there are many sea areas such as the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the Taiwan Strait. Therefore, since ancient times, mutual exchanges in this area have relied on a large number of ships for their realization. From the 14th century to the early 20th century, sailing boats were very active in the waters of East Asia and have been one of the major media of cargo transportation and cultural exchange. The famous Japanese scholar Song Puzhang’s book, “Cultural Exchanges in the East Asian Seas in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,” precisely took the Chinese sailing as the cut-off point and the cultural activities carried out in East Asia in the perspective of “Sea Asia.” In the early 20th century, a series of cultural exchanges and contacts were studied in depth.
