目前学界已有很多关于中外海上丝绸之路的研究,但海上丝绸之路的研究不应只限于古代,轮船时期的海上丝绸之路研究也应是学界亟待关注的一大课题。从19世纪后半期开始,西欧各国的轮船经常来往于亚洲,这不仅促进了经济贸易的发展,轮船也开始成为人们交通出行的便利工具,并将中国的特产或游客运往西欧或美洲等地。本文将主要围绕轮船时代下的海上丝绸之路加以考察。 At present, there are many researches on Chinese and overseas maritime Silk Road. However, the research on the Maritime Silk Road should not be confined to the ancient times. The study on maritime Silk Road in the time of shipping should also be a topic that scholars should pay close attention to. Since the latter half of the 19th century, the ships of Western European countries frequently traveled to and from Asia, which not only promoted the development of economy and trade, but also began to be convenient transportation tools for ships and transported specialties or tourists from China to Western Europe or the Americas. This article will mainly examine the maritime Silk Road under the steamship era.
