2011年11月，由北京故宮博物院、中國古陶瓷學會、福建省文物局、德化縣人民政府共同主辦的“2011中國瓷都?德化窯學術研討會”在瓷都德化舉辦，近百位國內外博物館館長、從事陶瓷文化研究的專家學者齊聚瓷都德化，以“的故鄉、瓷藝術的搖籃”為主題，共同研討深厚的德化窯陶瓷文化。

研討會共提交專題論文39篇，其中不乏外國專家的作品。與會的專家學者以翔實的圖文史料為佐證，從學術專業的角度對德化窯在國內外陶瓷文化領域的歷史地位和影響做了全面深刻的闡述，是一筆難得的、豐碩的學術成果。

近期，《外國人眼中的“”》欄目將再次回顧刊載該研討會的相關論文，并對其中的論文進行翻譯，為廣大德化陶瓷文化研究愛好者提供學習、交流、參考。

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to delineate a part of China's long-distance maritime trade with South East Asia in the period from the mid-10h to the mid-14th century. This will be done by delineating the special role in it played by a particular type of Dehua ceramics of that period and also consider the other Chinese ceramics excavated by the author at Satingpra in South Thailand. The citadel of Satingpra has yielded the highest total number of Chinese ceramics found in South East Asia to date, among them a remarkable presence of high quality wares from the Ou, Longquan, Dehua and Jingdezhen kilns and none of the low-grade Chinese trade ware, copies of these kilns so typical of other South East Asian trading sites.

Satingpra was both an ancient royal city and a former port on the east coast of South Thailand in the South China Sea. It was the principal site in an archaeological cluster of nine dependant sites along the east coast, with additional, closely related sites along the west coast near Trang and Paliang The author of this paper conducted environmental surveys, pollen coring and excavations there for 25 years, starting in 1971. They revealed the following key features: the location of the sites on a narrow part of peninsular Thailand that facilitated trans-isthmian crossings: the rainforest there undergoes a transition from the wet, evergreen forest of Malaysia to the semi-evergreen forest of Thailand. This is the famous Isthmus of Kra and botanically constitutes then Kra Ecotone In that ecotone grow some of the most valuable incenses of South East Asia, which were very highly priced in Song China. Their contribution to the maritime trade between South East Asia and South China explains the exceptionally high quality and high density of the Chinese ceramics sent here as well as the morphology of the finest ceramic types.

摘要

本篇論文致力于描繪10世紀中期到14世紀中期中國與東南亞地區遠程海上貿易部分。這種描述將通過作者在泰國南部塞丁普拉遺址發掘的那一時期德化陶瓷的特殊器型以及其他一些中國陶瓷器它們所扮演的特殊用途來進行。塞丁普拉堡寨出土了至今為止在東南亞地區發現的數量最多的中國陶瓷。他們當中有來自于中國甌窯、龍泉窯、德化窯、景德鎮窯等高品質瓷器的典型代表。塞丁普拉曾經是一座位于南中國海泰國東海岸的皇家古城和老港口。另外塞丁普拉是泰國東海岸九個相關聯的重要的考古遺址之一，靠近西海岸的董里和馬里昂。本文的作者從1971年開始對此地進行了長達25年的環境學調査、植物花粉分析和考古發掘。揭示出以下一些要點:一、泰國半島狹小地帶的地理位置促進了跨地峽之間的交往;二、那里的熱帶雨林呈現出由馬來西亞常綠雨林向泰國半常綠雨林的過渡。這就是著名的科勒地峽，從植物學上講，稱科勒交錯群落。在那個獨特的交錯群落種植了許多東南亞地區最為珍貴的香料，而曾被宋代的中國視為寶地。東南亞與中國南部地區海上貿易的貢獻在大量銷往這一地區的高品質的中國瓷器中得到了最生動的體現，堪稱精湛的中國瓷器形態學。
