论民间交往在中日关系史上的地位

The Role of People-to-people Communication in the History of SinoJapanese Relations

民间交往是国家间关系的基础,中日之间的民间交往与官方交往共同构成了两千余年的中日关系史。民间交往的产生早于官方交往,并且内容丰富、形式多样、硕果累累,极大地提升了两国关系的质量。官方关系的好坏,对民间交往有着重要的影响。官方关系密切,则民间交往顺畅;官方关系恶化,则民间交往受累。民间交往也反过来以其特有的形式对官方关系起着能动的推进作用,其作用同样不可低估。

The people - to - people communication serves as the foundation of interstate relations. Both the non- governmental, people -to- people communication and governmental communication between China and Japan constitute the whole history of Sino - Japanese relations, which is over two thousand years. The people - to - people communication in modern Sino - Japanese relations began earlier than the governmental communication, and has developed into various form and rich content and made enormous achievemenL On the one hand, the people -to -people communication is greatly influenced by the governmental communication; on the other hand, the people - to - people communication can also work in a particular way to play an active role in promoting the official contacts between the two governments. Its significance should be never underestimated.
