摘要
由于航海技术的局限及太平洋的浩瀚,古代欧亚文明的远洋交流极少涉及大洋洲地区。迟至18世纪中后期,大洋洲依然是地球上最不为外人所知的角落之一。在中国悠久而多向度的对外交流史中,如何与大洋洲地区产生联系一直缺乏定论：在华语学界,除了考古学、人类学以及语言学界对大洋洲岛屿原住民的东亚起源问题有相对系统的探究,古代中国与大洋洲的所谓通航或中国人早于西方人发现澳大利亚等命题基本是一厢情愿的推论。
contained the The earliest Trepang Routes maritime routes connected Oceania to China from the Northern coast of Australia and the Easternmost Routes with Sydney as a center. Although the former ones were still parts of the traditional Tribute System, the later ones were integrated into the Capitalist global market system and served for the expansion of resource frontier by the European colonialists. Sealing performed a significant role in the establishment of the Easternmost Routes. It not only benefited to the Australian economy and strengthened the inner connection of the Pacific Islands, but also paved the way for the further exchanges between China and the Oceania.
