【摘要】：从史前时期开始,马尔代夫群岛出产的海贝就是印度洋地区不少沿岸国家的传统货币,甚至经由缅甸、暹罗和孟加拉等地辗转输入中国,成为我国云南、四川等西南边疆地区的流通货币。本文根据中外相关文献的记载,对马尔代夫群岛海贝的名称、产地、捕捞、加工、运输、互市、贸易航线、马尔代夫帆船和水手、土著王室的垄断、穆斯林商人等问题逐一进行考察。本文认为,历史上马尔代夫群岛的海贝贸易曾经相当繁盛,孟加拉湾与波斯湾分别是印度洋东部航线与西部航线的海贝集散中心,印度的穆斯林商贾则在其中扮演了相当重要的角色。海贝在印度洋沿岸国家的贸易与流动,就像是一张无形的网络,将古代中国的西南腹地整合进了以孟加拉湾为中心的印度洋货币体系,进而说明古代云南和四川等地曾一度是印度洋海洋文明圈的一个不可分割的组成部分。
[Abstract]:Since the prehistoric period, the sea shellfish produced in the Maldives Islands have been the traditional currencies of many coastal countries in the Indian Ocean region. They have even been imported into China through Myanmar, Siam, Bangladesh and other places to become Yunnan of China. Currency circulation in Sichuan and other southwest frontier areas. According to the records of relevant Chinese and foreign literature, this paper has a monopoly on the name, origin, fishing, processing, transportation, exchange of markets, trade routes, Maldivian sailboats and sailors, and the indigenous royal family of the Maldivian archipelago sea shellfish. Muslim businessmen and other issues are investigated one by one. This paper holds that the sea shellfish trade in Maldives has been quite prosperous in history, and the Bay of Bengal and the Persian Gulf are the distribution centers of sea shellfish on the eastern and western routes of the Indian Ocean, respectively. Muslim businessmen in India, on the other hand, play a very important role. The trade and flow of sea shellfish in countries bordering the Indian Ocean is like an invisible network that integrates the southwestern hinterland of ancient China into the Indian Ocean monetary system centered on the Bay of Bengal. It is shown that ancient Yunnan and Sichuan were once an integral part of the Indian Ocean ocean civilization circle.
