近代日荷生丝贸易盛衰分析
2021-10-23张兰星


摘要: 在近代,由于日本养蚕缫丝技术落后,以及日本人喜欢丝织品,再加上生丝贸易有利可图,荷兰人便将生丝批量运往日本销售。文章结合历史学、经济学的研究方法,分析了17—18世纪日荷生丝贸易的盛衰变化。在1640年德川幕府锁国前,日荷生丝贸易兴起并兴盛。17世纪中期日本锁国,荷兰人的商贸活动受限,生丝贸易受到不利因素影响。至18世纪,虽然荷兰一直向日本输入生丝,但其贸易额减少,相关贸易逐渐衰落。生丝无疑是日荷贸易中最重要的商品之一,通过观察这种商品,可以从宏观角度分析整个日荷贸易的盛衰,从而深入探索近代东西方的交流交往。

Abstract:
In early modern time, as Japan lagged behind in silkworm breeding and reeling technology, the Japanese people loved silk fabrics, and raw silk trade was profitable, the Dutchmen shipped raw silk to Japan. This paper is focused on analyzing the changes in prosperity and decline of the Japanese-Dutch raw silk tradein the 17th and 18th centuries. Before Tokugawa Shogunate cut off their country from the outside world in 1640, raw silk trade between the two countries emerged and reached its climax. In the middle of the 17th century, the lockdown of Japan restricted the Dutch business activities and the raw silk trade was affected by unfavorable factors. By the 18th century, even though the Dutch had been importing raw silk into Japan, its trade volume decreased and relevant trade declined.Raw silk is undoubtedly one of the most important commodities in Japanese-Dutch trade. The investigation of the commodity is conductive to analyzing the prosperity and decline of the entire Japanese-Dutch raw silk tradefrom a macro perspective, thereby deeply exploring the exchanges between the East and the West in modern times.

近代以来,日本人对生丝的需求量很大,无论是较早来到亚洲的葡萄牙,还是后抵东方的荷兰,都将其列为输入日本最重要的商品之一。德川幕府锁国(公元1640年)前,日荷生丝交易达到高潮,锁国后此类贸易在各种因素的影响下开始走下坡路。
生丝是帆船时代东西方商贸交流的主要商品之一,也是中国古代重要的出口商品,遂国内外史学界均有论著探讨相关问题,只是研究还不够全面。国内的研究包括有范金民[1]的《16至19世纪前期中日贸易商品结构的变化——以生丝、丝绸贸易为中心》,王秋蕾[2]的《郑氏集团与荷兰东印度公司的商业竞争——以日本市场生丝贸易为例(1600—1683年)》等,但它们都集中于探讨中日间的生丝交易。……
