马六甲甲必丹郑芳扬及青云亭

Malacca,“Capitan”,Zheng Fangyang and Qing Yun Pavilion

本文根据海外文献和马六甲华人碑铭试着考证郑芳扬身世,以纠正其出生年月和任甲必丹年代的一些错误说法,并论证郑芳扬时期的马六甲华人,其实是明末海商和反清复明人士。此外,郑芳扬创建青云亭是华人在异域建立的互相帮扶的组织,其功能并非简单的庙宇,而是华人社会的政务、法庭、精神信仰的中心,反映了马六甲明末遗民政治立场和民族情结。

According to the overseas literature and Malacca Chinese inscription, this paper tries to verify Zheng Fangyang's life history in order to correct some erroneous statements of his birth years and Ren Jia's Bidan era, and to demonstrate the Malacca Chinese in Zheng Fangyang's time. In fact, it was the late Ming Dynasty merchants and anti-Qing reinstated Ming personages. In addition, Cheng Fang-yang 's creation of the Qingyun Pavilion is a mutually supportive organization established by the Chinese in a foreign country. Its function is not a simple temple, but the administrative affairs, courts,and spiritual center of the Chinese community. It reflects the political stand and national complex of the people left behind in Malacca in the late Ming Dynasty.
