摘要
日本《地学杂志》是日本地球科学界最重要的专门性刊物之一,自1889年创刊以来登载了大量有关东亚及东南亚的地理信息,其中对中国的报道和研究所占版面年平均超过13%。本文主要介绍日本《地学杂志》的发展沿革及内容构成,着重分析1889-1944年该杂志所载涉及中国的文章,特别关注日本地学家对中国各区域地形、地质、资源、物产、水道交通及社会人文等方面的实地考察,论证其研究价值和意义,分析其时空分布特点。通过分析1889-1944年间以《地学杂志》相关人员为代表的日本研究者对中国的关注和认识在时空及侧重点上的变化态势,表明当时日本地学家在中国所从事的实地调查活动与日本国家在政治和经济上对中国地理知识的需求之间有着十分密切的联系。
Journal of Geography is the most important professional journal of earth sciences in Japan.Since 1889,the year when Journal of Geography was launched,it has long been interested in East and Southeast Asia,numerous articles related in this region on geography had been published,which include not only theses but also plenty of field investigation articles.From 1889 to 1944,Journal of Geography had an average of more than 13% of articles and coverage which were relevant to China,thus,studies on China took a leading position in this journal.Based on an original survey,this paper mainly introduced the evolution and demonstrated the value of Journal of Geography,and then analyzed the characteristics of the articles about China that were published from 1889 to 1944.The paper focuses on the field investigations carried out by Japanese geographers in various aspects of China,including the landforms,geology,resources,products,and transportations as well as the social humanities.The value of the above investigations is discussed and the temporal-spatial distribution features are analyzed.By using these articles based on a large number of field survey data and results in China from Japanese geographers and other historical documents,the cognition level of geography in China from 1889 to 1944 by the Japanese like editors and writers of Journal of Geography is reconstructed.Taking the article＇s connection with China as a key point,we discuss the causes of such historical phenomenon,especially the influence of the policy of Japanese invading China.We can see a close relationship between the field survey in China by Japanese geographers and the fact that at that time,demands for Chinese geographic information increased steadily in Japan,according to this study.
