Abstract

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Faifo (Hoi An, Quang Nam province) emerged as one of the busiest international trading ports in Southeast Asia in general and in Vietnam in particular. At the same time, in Europe, Portugal and its formidable navy discovered a new maritime route to Asia. Using this knowledge, the Portuguese became one of the first Western states to explore this part of the world and laid the foundation for trade and missionary activities in a number of different countries and locations there. Among them, Faifo (in Vietnam) was a notable example. In fact, for almost a century (from the second half of the 16th century to the middle of the 17th century), the Portuguese had established business relationships and played an important role in trading activities in Faifo. Meanwhile, the Portuguese Crown strongly supported the Jesuit priests, aiding them in becoming the first Catholic missionary force based in Vietnam, thereby allowing for the introduction and spread of Christianity in Faifo as well as in other locations around Cochinchina. However, at the end of the 17th century, for a number of different factors, Portugal gradually lost its important role in trading and missionary activities in the port of Faifo. This article examines the Portuguese commercial and missionary activities in Faifo in the 16th and 17th centuries. It also aims to make a specific contribution to clarifying the relationship of exchange between Vietnam and Portugal in the 16th and 17th centuries.

葡萄牙的贸易活动与基督教的传播:法伊佛港(越南)
在16世纪和17世纪,Faifo(广南省会安)成为东南亚最繁忙的国际贸易港口之一,特别是在越南。与此同时,在欧洲,葡萄牙及其强大的海军发现了一条通往亚洲的新航线。利用这一知识,葡萄牙人成为最早探索这一地区的西方国家之一,并为在许多不同的国家和地区开展贸易和传教活动奠定了基础。其中,Faifo(越南)就是一个显著的例子。事实上,在近一个世纪的时间里(从16世纪下半叶到17世纪中叶),葡萄牙人在法伊福建立了商业关系,并在贸易活动中发挥了重要作用。与此同时,葡萄牙王室大力支持耶稣会牧师,帮助他们成为第一支以越南为基地的天主教传教力量,从而允许基督教在费佛以及其他地方的介绍和传播。然而,在17世纪末,由于许多不同的因素,葡萄牙逐渐失去了在法伊佛港的贸易和传教活动中的重要作用。本文考察了16、17世纪葡萄牙人在法伊佛的商业和传教活动。它还旨在为澄清16、17世纪越南与葡萄牙的交往关系作出具体贡献。
