The rise of global history in recent years，It provides a help for the integration of Chinese history and world history。Research on the Silk Road and Maritime Silk Road，Follow Multi -civilization、cross -regional communication and interaction of multi -ethnic groups，It is an excellent platform for practicing global history。Dr. Chen Yixuan, Peking University, "East Lai West

Towel: Research on the History of Trade History of Maritime Silk Road in the early 8-13 century "，Combining the empirical methods of traditional maritime silk research with the overall consciousness of Asian marine history，showing the full picture of the operation of the Maritime Silk Road in the late Middle Ages。After the visits, I think，This heavy book from material collection to research field、Analysis method，Can be remarkable。

First of all, a broad research field。The book breaks away from the barriers of the history of the interrogation and regional history，From the long -term perspective of the 8-13 century，Hynivol to maritime trade from the Western Pacific to the West Indian Ocean、panoramic inspection。Such a broad space range，covering the History of Indian Ocean in the Studies of Traditional Marine History、South China Sea History、The three branches of the history of East Asia。These branches areas，Even if you just look at the domestic academic community，From the early years of Feng Chengjun's "History of Chinese Nanyang Transportation"，Research on Ge Zhaoguang's "Eastern Asian Sea" in recent years，Then to the "Indian Ocean History Album" in the 18th series of "Marine History Research"，All have accumulated a lot of specialized academic achievements。But，Beyond these "Xiu Mu"，Study of "Forest -style" still needs。mid -20th century，Representative of the French New Year School School of the Year of bet365 live casino games the New Year's Eve, Brostele, in its historical works of the Mediterranean，The "Long Time" theory was proposed，Highlight the advantages of the overall view of overall history in the research of marine history。Inspired by Brostel，Researcher of Asian Marine History subsequently proposed "the Mediterranean of Asia"，This has been promoted one step on the road of overall research。but but，The so -called "Mediterranean of Asia" or "Inner Sea in Asia"，Still limited to ring Indian ocean or East Asian waters。Some research attempts that have been connected to India in the 21st century，But most of the time of attention is concentrated in near ancient and modern times，After the arrival of the Great Voyage，Extreme research materials，It is relatively easy to operate。

The book focuses on the early 8-13 century，This period is the preparation period for human society to enter the era of great navigation。It is generally considered，Born in the era of great sailing, the industrial revolution was born，Then it brings the wave of economic globalization。But，The global cooperation of economic production has been shown before the era of great sailing。In the late meditation，Arab merchants spread throughout Eurasia's Arab merchants in various places，Know the types of products in various regions、Handicraft industry cost and product price，thus bringing possibilities for cross -regional global production of goods。Some cultural relics of the shipwreck from the South China Sea I are expressed，In the 12th century，Some high -value -added handmade products may not be produced exactly，Instead, according to different raw materials，Its components are in East Asia、South Asia、West Asia's more price -advantageous place to produce。Regional division of labor in this commodity economy，It is connecting through the trade of the Maritime Silk Road。Only the vision of global history，can we understand the historical significance behind such cross -regional economic bet365 best casino games phenomena on the Maritime Silk Road。

The author clearly divides the history of the 500 -year -old Maritime Silk Road trade in the 8-13 century into two major stages: First, the period with Arab merchants as the main body，Second, there is Songshang、Tamir merchants and other places along the way to participate in many places along the way，Two periods are generally based on the 10th century。Many places in the book discussed ocean routes，Chapter 2 Talking about the Road of Oriental Voyage of Arabic Merchants，Chapter 7 Talking about the Western Voyage of Songshang's Western Voyage。These two "roads of voyage"，In fact, the main east -west routes of the above two stages are actually。Ocean routes in two periods，Can we correspond to a specific business group，Very doubt。I think，Sea business participants from all over the same period，Generally, the same ocean routes are used to come to the west。

Followed by subtle and delicate research。An excellent historical work，It must focus on the big place，Start from the subtle place。The author has a keen problem consciousness。Through solid research on various specific issues，This book's grand space and space structure can be supported。The content of each chapter in the book，Involved in business history、History of immigration、City History、Shipbuilding History、History of navigation technology、The topic of multiple historical branches such as regional social history。This is a very test of the author’s historical basic skills and the breadth of knowledge reserves。Reading the whole book，We can be convinced，​​The author has successfully controlled multiple branches of discipline categories，Discussion of the specific issues involved and in -depth。Some problems may not be able to reach a conclusion now，For example, the starting place of the Blackstone's shipwreck，But the author still uses the existing information to analyze it as much as possible，To maintain the integrity of the logical bet365 Play online games structure of the book。Some topics have less involved in previous topics，Not enough discussion，And the book is very advanced on the basis of existing research，Comprehensive analysis。This is especially reflected in the background of the first chapter about the Arab marine trade operation、Process and system discussion，Chapter III on the status and regional traffic of the southeast coastal ports in the middle and late Tang Dynasty，Chapter 5 Discussion on the "Chinese Ship" in the medieval Arabian Sea，and Chapter 6 Discussion on Funding Support and Periods of the Song Dynasty Voyage，All belong to the new specialty research。

At the same time, you should also see，There are also a few discussions in the book that is not deepened or there are suspects that deviate from the theme，兹。Chapter 5 specifically specially contained in the middle of the Tang Dynasty "Yang Liangyao Shinto Stele", "The Light of the Night is the Lantern Road，Demonstration of the End of the End of the Fairy Beast，The author quoted a number of materials in the Song and Ming dynasties，Point out that the "fairy beast" is the head of the traditional Chinese wooden sailing boat head，"God Lantern" is the lamp table on the stern。Regardless of whether these obvious late materials are appropriate as the main evidence，How does the lamp platform on the stern alone "watch the way" in the vast sea of ​​ocean? If you can further discuss this issue，It will be a good entry point for understanding the technical details of the Tang Dynasty's navigation。

Last rich and diverse historical material。Since the Kingdom Victoria has advocated the dual evidence law，The mutual confirmation of a variety of handed down literature and unearthed literature has become the only way to study ancient historical research。The research requirements of the history of the Silk Road are stricter，Not only the combination of the handed down and unearthed materials，Also familiar with ancient and modern multi -language literature。This is determined by two reasons: on the Bet365 lotto review one hand，The Silk Road is a cross -ethnic group、Cross -cultural bond，Related original historical materials are not only Chinese，It also includes many other ethnic language and text materials along the way; on the other hand，Silk Road Study is an international learning，Due to Europe and the United States、Scholars from Japan and scholars who co -built by the Silk Road pay attention to，The related research results are written in multiple languages。Chen Yixuan has years of systematic academic training and language practice，Mastering Ying、Method、Day、Persian、Arabia and other languages，So the relevant original historical materials and second -hand research materials involved in the book，Can basically be included。

Land Silk Road due to the dry climate of the desert oasis，A batch of Hu Chinese documents、Remember to save it，Provided a lot of new text materials for related research。Relatively speaking，Research on the Silk Road on the Middle Ages，Lack of sufficient unearthed literature blessing，Only a small amount of inscriptions and unearthed documents are available;，Sea Road is much less，Lack of system historical materials such as "Western Regions" such as "Western Regions", which can be relying on land research。Therefore，Archaeological materials are particularly important in the sea research before the Great Era of Voyager。It can be said，Any research on the Silk Road, which has been left out of archeological materials, is unreliable。The book is undoubtedly attached great importance to archeological materials。

but but，The author's degree to control it is not as free to use the text materials，Especially for the ruins of the ring Indian ocean area、The in -depth analysis of the relics is slightly insufficient。According to the author，This is an objective reason。During the period of studying at Peking University，I knew very early that two doctoral students in Cantonese used the Maritime Silk Road in the late period of Middle Ages to do degree bet365 Play online games thesis，One is Huang Ying from the Archaeological Expo College，Another is Chen Yixuan from the Department of History。Two people's research purpose is quite interesting，Huang Ying’s doctoral dissertation earlier，There are also several results published，Her research focuses on archeological materials。Chen Yixuan follows Huang Ying’s work，To avoid repeating labor，He is less explained to the relevant cultural relics and archeological materials in the book，But it fully quoted Huang Ying and Qin Dashu、The archeological research results of Xie Mingliang and others; at the same time, focus on text materials unearthed from archeology，Including Tostert's Hebrew Book、Cussel's Arabic language documents and inscription materials in various places，Discussion in depth，Digging the historical value contained in it。

The Maritime Silk Road before the Age of Navigation，It can be divided into four periods。1-4 AD，Han、Guishuang、Maritime trade between Rome has set off the first wave of the Maritime Silk Road，The first era of cross -printing two ocean voyages。4-8th century，On land,，Sogt people have established a huge international trade network，Wei Yitian's "History of Sosu Merchants" analyzed and summarized this;，The Persians built a comparable maritime commercial empire，The range from Persia Bay、Red Sea to the shore of the South China Sea，After the Samsanian dynasty and the Mahaya Chao。At the beginning of the 8-13 century in the book，Is the third stage。13-15 century，"Mongolian Peace" brought a new situation in Eurasian and Sea traffic，From the sea through the Yuan Dynasty and Yili Khan's country to the feat of Zheng He's go to the west，The frequency and scale of the East and Western maritime exchanges greatly exceed the previous generation。

Observation of the wide -angle space -time of the third period of the third period of the third period，It is a successful practice of the theory of "Long Time" and the global view of history。bet365 Play online games For the scene of the other three periods of sea and ocean transportation，We should also follow this research idea to promote。Finally need to point out，The main participants of trade on the Maritime Silk Road，In addition to the sea merchant group at both ends of the ends，There are many groups in the middle zone。Far voyage merchants from Buddhist stories such as "Book of Lives"，To the Guishuang merchant in the early period of the Middle Ages，Then to the Tamil businessman in the late Middle Ages，The participation of these important intermediary groups in the east and west trade in each period、status and influence，It is worthwhile to conduct systemic exploration from a wide perspective。
