Abstract

ABSTRACT Due to China’s ongoing economic rise, recent studies in global (economic) history have moved away from the traditional Eurocentric view to a Sinocentric one. There is extensive literature focused on the introduction of Chinese goods to Europe, as well as on China’s economic development within the framework of the great divergence debate. However, less research has centred on the introduction of European goods to Chinese markets, specifically the markets in Guangdong or other coastal regions (such as Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangsu), before the First Opium War. This paper aims to side-step the Sinocentric approach, eschewing the current wave of national history in China, by analysing the international trade in Qing China from the Kangxi era until the Qianlong period. It provides new empirical evidence from the First Historical Archives of China (FHAC) by examining the impact on global trade of China’s imperial edicts and interventionist policies.

广州作为全球贸易中心的经济“微观宇宙”:康乾时期(1683-1795)的海外贸易、消费与广州体系
摘要由于中国经济的持续崛起,近年来全球(经济)史研究从传统的欧洲中心论转向了中国中心论。有大量的文献关注中国商品向欧洲的介绍,以及在大分歧辩论的框架内中国的经济发展。然而,较少的研究集中在第一次鸦片战争前将欧洲商品引入中国市场,特别是广东或其他沿海地区(如福建、浙江和江苏)的市场。本文通过对康熙至乾隆时期清代中国国际贸易的分析,试图避开中国民族历史的浪潮,避开以中国为中心的方法。它通过考察中国的诏令和干预政策对全球贸易的影响,从中国第一历史档案馆(FHAC)提供了新的经验证据。
