摘要
长期以来,学界对中国航海史的考察多以朝代为断,且相关研究多建立在正史及方志等传统史料的基础之上,并由此得出明海禁前的航海技术是随着历史不断累积发展的历史传承之说。通过对元明时期海运漕粮路线开辟过程的管窥可知,以朝代为断的航海史研究虽有利于呈现航海史大貌,但亦失于笼统而难显其中的细节变化;正史志书所载的航海路线仅是某一时期的模糊航行状况,此类航海知识并无指导航海之功用;而航海技术的历史亦并非全部为异源同流的水系,还有可能是断层后从头开始的发展,航海技术的累积,只能是续而不断的航运。
For a long time, studies on Chinese maritime history based on official historical writings and gazetteers always went along with dynasty lines and then drew the conclusion that Chinese navigation technology before Ming dynasty’s navigationforbidden policy was a heritage of historical development. By analysis on the establishment of maritime transportation of grain in Yuan and Ming era, this paper reveals that(1) transportation routes recorded in official historical writings were only a fuzzy description providing no guide to navigation, and(2) the development of navigation technology might be products of reborn after vanishing rather than evolutional results. In a word, accumulation of navigation technology could only come from shipping.
