摘要
17世纪,中日在对外关系方面不约而同地采取了闭关锁国的外交政策。史学界对这项政策具有的封闭性研究较多,却往往忽视了它所蕴涵的另一项特性--开放性。中国"闭关"政策的开放性主要表现为中外贸易,尤其是中日民间贸易屡禁不止,两国贸易往来事实上成为"公开的秘密"。日本"锁国"政策的开放性主要表现为德川幕府主动开放长崎一港,与外界进行交流。中日两国闭关锁国政策所具有的开放性使中日文化交流的传统得以延续,并且使此期中日文化交流表现出不同于以往的新特点。
In the seventeenth century, both China and Japan adopted diplomatic policies that, while aiming at closing the doors to the outside, possessed a touch of openness in some respects. This touch of openness, however, is often neglected in historical study. The openness as one characteristic of the Chinese close-door diplomatic policy in that time was embodied in the prosperous non-governmental trade between China and Japan, that of the Japanese policy in its exchange of goods with other countries, which was made possible by opening the port of Nagasaki. It is just this openness that helped carry on the tradition of the cultural exchange between China and Japan, and made the features of the exchange in that period different from before.
