近世初期东亚海域纷争中日本的策略——从平山常陈事件的再考察出发

With Additional Studies on Japan' s Strategies in East Asia Seas——Reinspection of Hirayama Jouchin Jiken

平山常陈事件是基督教新教国和天主教国在对日本贸易的竞争中促发的事件。该事件反映出17世纪初东亚海域纷乱斗争的时局和区域秩序多极化的状况。在此背景下,德川日本虽然有扩张的意欲,但并未继续采取丰臣秀吉时的强硬对外战争路线,而是以保障对外贸易的稳定为主要目的,有意避免卷入国外的政治及军事冲突。德川初期日本对东亚海域纷争中各方势力的应对策略正是在这一前提下展开的。

Hirayama Jouchin Jiken is an event triggered by the competition between Catholic nations and Protestant nations around the trade to Japan.This event reflected the troublous as well as multi-polar state in East Asia seas during early 17 th century.Under this background.although the Tokugawa Japan has the will of expansion.it did not hold on to the path of foreign wars of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.but turned to guaranteeing the stabilization of foreign trade as well as avoiding being involved into foreign conflicts.The early Tokugawa Japan＇s policy on East Asia seas was carried out under this premise.
