摘要

The Nanhai No.1 shipwreck constitutes a significant archaeological discovery pertaining to the Maritime Silk Road of China, thereby reflecting advancements in maritime technology and navigational capabilities during the Southern Song Dynasty, while providing material evidence for the study of the scale of international trade, commodity types and cultural exchanges. The diverse and geographically extensive cargo aboard this vessel offers crucial insights into the formation and operational patterns of maritime trade networks of ancient China. The present study focuses on the ship cargo as a primary research subject, integrating historical documents and material evidence to investigate commodity origins, trade routes, and potential destinations. A systematic analysis of cargo distribution patterns reveals the structure of the Maritime Silk Road and characteristics of regional economic and cultural interactions during the Southern Song Dynasty. The study examines specific cargo types and distribution hub ports to explore underlying socioeconomic and cultural motivations behind trade activities. The emergence of Nanhai No.1 was shaped by a combination of socioeconomic conditions, technological advances, and political orientations during the Song Dynasty. The economic activities represented by this vessel extend far beyond trade, playing a crucial role in cultural exchange, religious dissemination, and population migration. The investigation of Nanhai No.1 provides a detailed case study for Chinese maritime trade history, deepens understanding of maritime cultural exchanges, and economic interactions, and offers historical perspectives for contemporary regional cooperation.
