摘要
在中国史料记载中被称为“昆仑”的东南亚海船和海员,早在公元最初的几个世纪就航行于东南亚和中国之间[1]。一开始,他们是外国商品的运货商,东南亚港口在国际贸易中的主要作用是为往来的商人提供修整的设施,以及是他们等待下个季风来临的场所[2]。在4~5世纪,东南亚商人将本地所产的香料作为同类外国商品的廉价替代品进行销售,并由此进一步在南海贸易网络中引进其他的本土产品[3]。
After the 11th century,Sivijaya’s dominant position in the Straits of Melaka region was weakened,which effected the southeast Asia’s maritime trade network.Based on the study of the sailing routes and cargo ownership of four shipwrecks dated between the 10th to 13th centuries,it is argued that with the Srivijaya-centric distribution system gradually falling apart after the 11th century,a more diffuse trading pattern was formed in Southeast Asia,which led to more direct interaction between each region.As a consequence,traders from minor ports started to frequent China,and individual merchants gradually grew in number and importance.
