唐通事与海上丝绸之路

Nagasaki Totsuji and Maritime Silk Road

唐通事是江户时代在日本长崎的中日贸易中从事翻译等职务的地方行政人员。在海上丝绸之路的东海航线上,唐通事作为华侨社会事务管理者、中日经贸促进者、友好使者、历史见证者和记录者,为海丝之路的建设做出了独特贡献。尽管其历史作用受主客观因素影响未能充分发挥,但在200多年的历史中所积累、沉淀下的文化情感网络是不可忽视的,它也是海外华人华侨奋斗史的缩影之一。

Totsuji are a group of local administrators who worked as translators in Sino-Japanese trade in Nagasaki of Japan during Edo era. On the East China Sea route of the Maritime Silk Road, Totsuji as overseas Chinese social affairs’ managers, Sino-Japanese economic and trade promoters, friendship envoys, historical witnesses and recorders have made unique contributions to the construction of the Maritime Silk Road. Affected by the subjective and objective factors, their historical role has not been fully played, but the cultural emotional network accumulated and precipitated in the history of more than 200 years cannot be ignored, and they are also one of the epitomes of the struggle history of overseas Chinese.
