摘要
一早期海图多为航海所用。中国地处世界最大陆亚欧大陆东部,东临世界最大洋太平洋,具有绵长的海岸线,这样的地理位置决定了历史上我国沿海人民很早就有航海实践。史料记载,春秋时代的孔子曾感叹其思想难行于中国,曾寄希望于乘着小筏子渡于海,将其传播四方。“道不行,乘桴浮于海”,载《论语注疏》解经卷第五,清嘉庆二十年南昌府学重刊宋本《十三经注疏本》。战国时期中国沿海出现吴、越、齐等强大的诸侯国,造船业在广泛应用中得以迅速发展。秦代之前船上已经使用的风帆利用自然风力作为船舶动力,为船舶航行提供动力资源,使之更便于海上远距离行驶。张良群:《从秦代航海条件看徐福东渡的可能性》,《日本研究》1998年第1期,第58~62页。
Early Chinese sea charts have changed greatly in their contents and their ways of mapmaking compared to contemporary Chinese sea charts.This article suggests that the development of Chinese sea chart can be divided into two phases by 1929.After a general review of previous research,this paper provides five suggestions for the study of Chinese sea chart history in the future.Firstly,conduct a systematic collection of the early sea charts based on chart classification of China.Secondly,enforce comparative studies of sea charts with same or similar origins.Thirdly,focus on the differences between sea chart and those maps of coastal area.Fourthly,conduct comparative studies of sea charts in South East Asian and the rest of the world.Lastly,strengthen the application of sea charts in the studies of other disciplines.
