| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 歷史學系 === 81 === Special Research on Chinese Oceanic History ---- The Ming
Empire and South-east Asia It was during the Ming dynasty that
China had its closest connection with South-east Asia. Owing to
Ming T'ai-tsu's and Ming Ch'eng-tsu's successful policies,
tribute from the conquered south-east Asian countries was
continuously sent to China. However, in the middle period of
the Ming dynasty, powerful Chinese influence withdrew from
those countries in order to protect itself from Mongol and Wako
attacks. Afterwards, all those countries were gradually ruined
and became overseas coloies of Portugal, Spain, Holland or
England. Therefore, the relationship between the Ming Empire
and South- east Asia changed thoroughly, and it represented the
decline of Chinese oceanic history. In this essay, the
alterations of the Empire's policies toward South-east Asia and
its influence over those countries will be discussed. Also
covered will be its effects of the mutual trading activities
and the changes of each historical period's political
situation. The thesis, consisting of 240 thousand words, has
been divided into six chapters, twenty sections.
