Words&ExpressionsLesson1Guangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadReadingGuangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadLesson1中国通往世界的海上门户①广州是中国广东省省会，位于珠江流入南海的入海口。由于优越的地理位置，广州自古以来就是中国通往世界的海上门户之一。②事实上，广州作为重要的港口城市和国际贸易中心的地位可以追溯到唐朝，当时广州到处都是阿拉伯商人，他们通过海上丝路来到中国购买茶叶和丝绸。③1757年，清朝乾隆皇帝颁布诏令，禁止除广州以外的所有中国港口对外贸易。因此，广州成为对外贸易的唯一口岸，所有的贸易都通过广州十三行来进行交易。Lesson1Guangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadReadingGuangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadLesson1④广州十三行，也被称为十三贸易工厂，是1757年至1842年间中国和西方之间唯一合法的贸易场所。在这一时期，十三行是中西经济和文化交流的主要推动力，使广州发展得极其繁荣。据说这一时期有成千上万的船只停泊在十三行附近，数百万人居住在这一地区。⑤世界各国的货币在十三行流通，这很不寻常，但这也反映了广州商业的繁荣。西方商人最喜欢十三行的哪些商品呢?

当谈到清朝在外国流行的中国产品时，丝绸，瓷器和茶肯定排在首位，它们主要从广州出口到不同的国家。据记载，仅在1830年，卖给英国东印度公司的茶叶就达3000多万磅，更不用说分布在十三行的许多其他商品，包括西方人喜爱的墙纸、银器、漆器家具、瓷器、绘画、珐琅、象牙、玻璃镜、扇子等。Lesson1Guangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadReadingGuangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadLesson1⑥谁是19世纪早期世界上最富有的商人?

据《华尔街日报》报道，可能是一位名叫伍秉鉴的中国商人，他在广州生活和工作。《华尔街日报》将伍秉鉴列入了过去1000年最富有的50人名单。据估计，他的财富价值约数百万银币，是美国首富的几倍之多。⑦选择广州作为中国进出口商品交易会的主办地，体现了中国政府的智慧。几千年来，广州一直是贸易中心。在对外贸易方面，广州本身就是一个品牌。如今，交易会上展出各种各样的产品，每年吸引来自200多个国家和地区的数十万海外买家。中国进出口商品交易会的发展变化也体现了中国经济和国际关系的发展变化。Module1TheSymphonyoftheSilkRoad新领航职业英语（下册）LessonOneLessonTwoLessonThreeContentsGuangzhou,aGatewaytoMaritimeSilkRoadTheCallofNewSilkRoadPracticeMakesPerfectModule1TheSymphonyoftheSilkRoad-
