漂流事件与日本的中国情报——以江户时代为中心

Castaways and Japan's Intelligence on China——Centering on the Edo Period

漂流事件是江户时代日中两国交往的重要渠道。或是通过漂到中国的日本漂流民之见闻、或是通过与漂到日本的中国漂流民进行笔谈,当时被严格限制对外交往的日本了解到不少有关中国的情报。这些情报在增加"锁国"日本的海外知识的同时,也对其政治和对外关系产生了重要的影响。

Castaways event was an important channel for exchanges between Japan and china during the Edo period. Japan, which was strictly limited in external contacts at that time, knew a lot of intelligence on China by the Japanese castaways that drifted to China or by chatting literarily with the Chinese castaways that drifted to Japan. The intelligence increased the knowledge of ＂Lock State＂ Japan＇s overseas. At the same time, it also had a significant impact on the politics and external relations of Japan.
