Words&ExpressionsLesson1Guangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadReadingGuangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadLesson1中國通往世界的海上門戶①廣州是中國廣東省省會，位于珠江流入南海的入海口。由于優(yōu)越的地理位置，廣州自古以來就是中國通往世界的海上門戶之一。②事實上，廣州作為重要的港口城市和國際貿易中心的地位可以追溯到唐朝，當時廣州到處都是阿拉伯商人，他們通過海上絲路來到中國購買茶葉和絲綢。③1757年，清朝乾隆皇帝頒布詔令，禁止除廣州以外的所有中國港口對外貿易。因此，廣州成為對外貿易的唯一口岸，所有的貿易都通過廣州十三行來進行交易。Lesson1Guangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadReadingGuangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadLesson1④廣州十三行，也被稱為十三貿易工廠，是1757年至1842年間中國和西方之間唯一合法的貿易場所。在這一時期，十三行是中西經濟和文化交流的主要推動力，使廣州發(fā)展得極其繁榮。據(jù)說這一時期有成千上萬的船只停泊在十三行附近，數(shù)百萬人居住在這一地區(qū)。⑤世界各國的貨幣在十三行流通，這很不尋常，但這也反映了廣州商業(yè)的繁榮。西方商人最喜歡十三行的哪些商品呢?

當談到清朝在外國流行的中國產品時，絲綢，瓷器和茶肯定排在首位，它們主要從廣州出口到不同的國家。據(jù)記載，僅在1830年，賣給英國東印度公司的茶葉就達3000多萬磅，更不用說分布在十三行的許多其他商品，包括西方人喜愛的墻紙、銀器、漆器家具、瓷器、繪畫、琺瑯、象牙、玻璃鏡、扇子等。Lesson1Guangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadReadingGuangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadLesson1⑥誰是19世紀早期世界上最富有的商人?

據(jù)《華爾街日報》報道，可能是一位名叫伍秉鑒的中國商人，他在廣州生活和工作?！度A爾街日報》將伍秉鑒列入了過去1000年最富有的50人名單。據(jù)估計，他的財富價值約數(shù)百萬銀幣，是美國首富的幾倍之多。⑦選擇廣州作為中國進出口商品交易會的主辦地，體現(xiàn)了中國政府的智慧。幾千年來，廣州一直是貿易中心。在對外貿易方面，廣州本身就是一個品牌。如今，交易會上展出各種各樣的產品，每年吸引來自200多個國家和地區(qū)的數(shù)十萬海外買家。中國進出口商品交易會的發(fā)展變化也體現(xiàn)了中國經濟和國際關系的發(fā)展變化。Module1TheSymphonyoftheSilkRoad新領航職業(yè)英語（下冊）LessonOneLessonTwoLessonThreeContentsGuangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadTheCallofNewSilkRoadPracticeMakesPerfectModule1TheSymphonyoftheSilkRoad-
