论景德镇在古代丝绸之路中的历史地位——景德镇外销瓷在中国陶瓷贸易史中的历史地位

On the Historic Role of Jingdezhen in the Development of the“Silk Road”——The Historical Position of Jingdezhen's Export Porcelain in the History of China's Ceramic Trade

"丝绸之路",历史悠久,盛誉中外。瓷器是"丝绸之路"重要的组成部分,瓷器贸易始终居于东西方文化交流的主体地位。景德镇较早参与对外瓷器贸易,是中国出口瓷器大宗供货基地,16世纪至18世纪,大约有三亿件瓷器来到欧洲,还有巨额数量的瓷器销往东亚及东南亚各地。这些产品大多出自景德镇。法国传教士殷弘绪说,"景德镇一地,独挑运瓷器到全世界之大梁",这句评述客观地概括了景德镇外销瓷在中国陶瓷对外贸易中的历史地位。行销世界的中国瓷器,在"丝绸之路"上扮演了重要角色,它造成了人类历史上早期的"全球化现象"。作为中国瓷器主要出口基地的景德镇,成为人类历史上早期"全球化现象"的重要推手。

With a long history, the "Silk Road" is wide known across the world. Porcelain trading, which has always taken the leading position in cultural communication between the east and the west, constitutes the main part in the Legend of Silk Road. Jingdezhen, a huge export porcelain supply base of China, participated in the foreign porcelain trade very early. According to historical records, from the 16th to 18th centuries, European countries have imported about 300 million pieces of porcelain, and the East and Southeast Asian countries also a large quantity of ceramic ware. Most of these ceramic works were produced in Jingdezhen. Francois Xavier d 'entrecolles, a French missionary, said,"Jingdezhen is the place that acts as the only girder in providing ceramic ware for the world." This missionary's words gave an unemotional comment on the historical status of Jingdezhen in China's ceramic exportation industry. Actually, China's ceramic exportation industry has played an important role in promoting the development of the "Silk Road", which gave rise to the earliest mode of "globalization" in human history. Therefore, Jingdezhen, as Chinese major porcelain export base, is the main driving force for the earliest "Globalization" in human history.
