论明末清初福建对日走私贸易

On the Sino-Japanese Smuggle Trade in Fu Jian Province in the Later Part of Ming Dynasty and the Beginning of Qing Dynasty

明中叶后,广东、福建、江浙等地的中日走私贸易逐步发展起来。到明末清初这一时期,福建地区的对日贸易特别活跃,超过了广东和江浙。这是由多种原因共同促成的:明末隆庆开禁的地点就在福建漳州月港,虽然"严禁贩倭奴",但海商还是想尽办法通过月港赴日贸易;在明末清初特殊的政治环境下,郑氏海商集团以福建为基地,垄断了东南沿海的对日贸易。这些因素都为福建对日贸易的发展提供了契机。

After the middle of Ming Dynasty, the Sino-Japanese smuggle trades was developed gradually. Such smuggle trades was mainly focused in Guang Dong, Fu Jian, Jiang Su and Zhe Jiang province. During the period of the later part of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, smuggle trades in Fu Jian was more excessive than that in Guang Dong, Jiang Su and Zhe Jiang which resulted from various reasons working together, it was in Yue Port of Zhang Zhou in Fu Jian province that got the privilege for trading in the Long Qing Period of Ming Dynasty. Though the trades with Japanese were forbidden, Chinese merchants tried every method that was possible to do so. With the political background in the later Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Zheng＇ s Maritime Trade Group, with Fu Jian as its foundation, monopolized the Sino-Japanese trades in south east coastal areas. All the causes stated above provided opportunity for Sino-Japanese trade flourish in Fu Jian.
