中国不仅是一个内陆国家,而且有着历史悠久并高度发达的海洋文明。古籍当中就有很多关于古人航海造船活动的记载,河姆渡遗址的船桨①、福建连江独木舟②、泉州后渚港沉船③,展现出中国古代帆船体系不断完善、发展的进程。但是,由于明清之际海禁政策的束缚,中国帆船丧失继续发展的契机,更随着西方工业革命的开进而日渐没落,最终退出历史的舞台,无不令人扼腕。我们现在也仅能从文献当中去找寻当初的辉煌,去探寻中国古代海洋文明的进程。
China is not only a landlocked country, but also has a long history and highly developed maritime civilization. Among the ancient books, there are many records about the activities of the ancients in navigating the ship, the paddles at Hemudu site ① the canoe at Lianjiang in Fujian ② and the shipwreck at Houzhugang in Quanzhou ③, demonstrating the continuous improvement and development of the ancient Chinese sailing system. However, as a result of the sea-ban policy during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the chance of China’s continued loss of sailing was gradually declining with the gradual opening of the Western Industrial Revolution and finally it was time to withdraw from the stage of history. We can now only find the original glory from the literature to explore the course of ancient Chinese marine civilization.
