从隋唐时期起,海上交通有了较大的发展,我国的图书开始向日本、高丽、百济、新罗等国出口。出口的途径有三,一是外国使臣来华,专程或就便购买图书;二是各国派留学生、学问僧来华求学,购买经籍带回本国;三是中国的商船驶抵日本等国的口岸,出售书籍和其他商品。 From the Sui and Tang dynasties, maritime traffic has made great development, and our books began to be exported to Japan, Korea, Baekje and Silla. There are three ways to export. First, when foreign envoys come to China, they make a special trip or purchase books. Second, they send students and learn monks to study in China and bring them back to their home countries. Third, Chinese merchant ships arrive at ports in Japan and other countries Sale of books and other goods.
