摘 要: 环境史学界习惯将近代南太平洋地区生态与文化的变化解释为创造“新欧洲”的结果,其主要叙事线索为西方殖民主义与本土经验的互动。然而,从18世纪末至20世纪初,中国与南太平洋地区也建立并维持了紧密联系。在以海上贸易为基础的交通网络建立后,华人移民劳工和其后兴起的华人资本都积极参与并推动了南太平洋地区农牧矿复合生态的形成。近代华人对南太平洋地区生态及文化的影响经历了由海及陆、由间接到直接、由劳动密集到资本密集的扩大过程。这不仅彰显了中国因素在近代全球生态重塑中的重要影响,更启示学界应该深入发掘中国在全球化尤其是太平洋地区一体化进程中的历史能动性。 Environmental historians often explain ecological and cultural changes in the modern South Pacifi c as results of the creation of a“New Europe”.Their narratives are generally based on interactions between Western colonialism and local experiences.As a matter of fact,China had also established and maintained close ties with the South Pacifi c region from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century.After the formation of a transportation network based on the sea trade,Chinese migrant laborers and,subsequently,Chinese capital played an active role in promoting the formation of a complex ecosystem of farming,grazing,and mining in the region.Modern Chinese people’s ecological and cultural infl uence in the region expanded from sea to land,indirect to direct,and labor-intensive to capital-intensive.This not only shows the signifi cant Chinese infl uence on global ecological reconstruction during the modern period.It also reminds the academic community that in-depth studies should be carried out to explore the dynamic role China has played in globalization,especially in the historical process through which the Pacific region was integrated.
