黄宗羲日本乞师事考:兼论南明士大夫对中日关系的看法

Study of Huang Zongxi's Request for Military Assistance from Japan: Views of Elites on Sino- Japanese Relations in the Southern Ming Dynasty

黄宗羲日本乞师应确有其事,次数当为一次,时间应在1648年的五、六月左右,同行者应包括黄孝卿、冯京第。同时,黄宗羲赴日乞师一事体现了明末清初士大夫的国家民族意识,日本在明朝人心目中的地位上升了,由附庸变为了对等的邻国,这一方面由实力决定,另一方面可能与文化认同有关。

This paper suggests that Huang Zongxi really went to Japan to request military assistance in May or June, 1648. Peers should include Huang Xiaoqing and Feng Jingdi. Meanwhile, around this historical event, this pa per discusses the national consciousness about elites at that time. In the opinion of the people in the southern Ming Dynasty, Japan＇ s position changed from a dependent country to a neighboring country. This change may be caused by its national strength and cultural identity.
