明朝的对缅政策及中缅关系

The Policy to Burma in Ming Dynasty and the Sino-Burma Relationship

明代的中央政府在处理与缅甸关系时,最重要的做法是把缅甸纳入云南都指挥使司的统辖范围,将缅甸直接纳入地方政治组织系统,同时又将缅甸置于藩属地位,纳入明朝的朝贡体系之中。这样,中缅关系具有明显的不确定性。在这种情况下,相较于之前的元代,明朝在缅甸的控制力度和影响力都在下降,但两国间的贸易还是得到了一定程度的发展。旅居缅甸的中国人人数剧增,籍贯及身份也呈现出多样化的发展态势。"大明街"的形成,说明留缅中国人已有自己的聚集区并建立了自己的商业网络。

In Ming Dynasty Chinese royal court treated Burma mostly by the way of putting it under the jurisdiction of Yunnan military authorities,putting it directly under Yunnan political organization system,and putting it into the tribute system as a vassal state,so that Sino-Burmese relationship was definitely unstable. In such situation,the dominance and influence of Ming Empire to Burma decreased compared to Yuan Empire,Nevertheless the trade between Ming Empire and Burma grew to some extent,and Chinese immigrants in Burma boomed,whose native place and vocation were diversified. The establishment of Great Ming Street shows that Chinese immigrants in Burma had established their own residence and their own commercial network.
