The Interaction and Transfer of Technology in Medieval East Asia

中古时期，东亚海上交流具有鲜明的特点，中国等发达地区的产品和技术是东亚海上交流的向心力之一。来自发达地区的产品改变了日本列岛的日常生活，新技术被翻译和吸收到该国。除了国外的技术外，这些技术也对国内的生产和生活方式产生了很大的影响，技术交流也很活跃。本文从这些视角出发，揭示了12世纪初、13世纪末、15世纪末和17世纪初的社会突破和时代革命发展，并从一个新的角度重新审视了中世纪时期的形象，超越了技术史的范围。

In the Medieval Ages, exchanges via the East Asian seas were characterized by distinct features, and products and technologies in China and other developed areas served as one of the centripetal forces for such exchanges. Products from developed areas brought about a change in the daily livelihood of the Japanese archipelago and the new technologies were translated and assimilated into the country. Besides overseas techniques, these also had a large impact on domestic production and lifestyles, and there were brisk exchanges of technologies. From these perspectives, this paper sheds light on social breakthroughs and revolutionary developments of the times in the early 12th century, late 13th century, late 15th century and early 17th century, and re-examines the image of the medieval period from a new angle, delving beyond the scope of technological history.
