Study on the Escape of the Portuguese Leasing in Macao from Chinese Criminal Law and the Governance by the Government of the Qing Dynasty

After the Portuguese leased in Macao in the mid-period of Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese officials here were asked to comply with the law of China more than once. To the Qing dynasty, the Portuguese still stubbornly refused to obey the law of China and often escaped from Chinese criminal law using briberies. In the case about Huiqian CHEN and the processing in the end of 1743, the fact that the Portuguese often escaped from the law of China was changed, and the principle of the Chinese judicial officials about processing the murders about Chinese killed by foreigners was explicitly defined. In this principle, Chinese significant compromises and concessions to the Portuguese were also included, but the criminal jurisdiction was ultimately controlled by the Government of the Qing Dynasty. Thus, the foreign-related criminal procedures conforming to foreign conditions were revised by the government of the Qing Dynasty according to the actual circumstances of Macao. However, the foreign-related criminal procedures revised by the government of the Qing Dynasty were not honestly observed by the Portuguese. After several major cases occurred in Macao, security rules and regulations were further issued by the government of the Qing Dynasty, in which the judicial control power of the government of the Qing Dynasty in Macao was unequivocally stated.

晚清国人对机器制茶的认知与接受

晚清时期,国人对机器制茶的认知经历了由浅入深的过程,对机器制茶的接受程度也由低到高。19世纪80年代后期,华茶贸易危机初现,国人开始了对机器制茶的探讨,此时国人对这一新的生产方式认识尚浅,意见存在分歧。19世纪末,报刊媒体的介绍使国人对机器制茶的认识有所深化,对机器制茶的倡导成为中国茶业改良思想的一个重要部分,政府和商人开始了机器制茶的尝试,但不少人仍对机器制茶存有疑虑。20世纪初的清朝新政时期,对国外的考察进一步增强了国人对机器制茶的认知,机器制茶被视为振兴茶业、挽回利权的必要手段。虽然出于种种原因,晚清机器制茶的实践十分有限,但国人对机器制茶的认知与接受过程反映了其对待新的外来科技积极开放与谨慎理性的双重态度,为中国茶业的近代化发展奠定了一定的基础。
