明清时期外来植物引入澳门考

On the Introduction of Exotic Plants into Macao in the Ming and Qing Dynasties

外来植物传入中国是农业史研究中的一个重要课题,以往学者投注了大量心血,亦出版了众多著述,但明清时期外来植物传入澳门这一问题却很少有人关注,几乎没有什么学术成果出现。文章根据大量的中西档案文献对明确在明清时期传入澳门的13种植物进行了详细的考证,并确证了上述植物在澳门的传入与发展,填补了中国农业史研究的一个空白。

The introduction of exotic plants into China is an important subject in the study of agricultural history, and previous scholars have put a lot of effort into it and published large numbers of works, but few peo- ple concerned about the introduction of exotic plants into Macao during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Based on a large quantity of Chinese and Western literature archives, this article not only examined 13 kinds of plants that were introduced into Macao during the Ming and Qing Dynasties in detail, but also confirmed their intro- duction and development in Macao, and fills a gap in the history of Chinese agricultural research.
