稻作东传之路与舟山群岛

Road of Introducing Rice Planting into Japan and Zhoushan Archipelago

日本的水稻种植由古代中国传入。中日学者在论述稻作东传的诸多路线，似以长江口与钱塘江口直接东传的可能性最大。而舟山群岛由于其独特的地理位置、洋流、气候与交通诸条件，对中国稻作文化东传日本起到了中继站与“跳板”的作用。但稻作东传也不能排除其偶然性因素。

The rice planting in Japan was introduced from ancient China. It seems to be most possible for rice planting to be introduced into Japan directly from the mouths of Changjiang River and Qiantang River among the various lines of introducing rice planting into Japan which are being discussed in the Chinese and Japanese studies. And Zhoushan Archipelago, with its favorable conditions of peculiar geographical position, oceanic current, climate and transport, played a role of relay station and “springboard” in the introduction of Chinese rice－planting culture into Japan. The introduction of rice planting into Japan, however, cannot rule out its contingency.
