商品描述
The Port (present-day Hà Tiên), situated in the Mekong River Delta and Gulf of Siam littoral, was founded and governed by the Chinese creole Mo clan during the eighteenth century and prospered as a free-trade emporium in maritime East Asia. Mo Jiu and his son, Mo Tianci, maintained an independent polity through ambiguous and simultaneous allegiances to the Cochinchinese regime of southern Vietnam, Cambodia, Siam, and the Dutch East India Company. A shared value system was forged among their multiethnic and multi-confessional residents via elite Chinese culture, facilitating closer business ties to Qing China. The story of this remarkable settlement sheds light on a transitional period in East Asian history, when the dominance of the Chinese state, merchants, and immigrants gave way to firmer state boundaries in mainland Southeast Asia and Western dominance on the seas.

港口(現今的河靜),位於湄公河三角洲和暹羅灣沿岸,於十八世紀由華人混血的莫氏家族創立並治理,並作為東亞海域的自由貿易中心而繁榮。莫九及其子莫天賜透過對南越的交趾支配政權、柬埔寨、暹羅及荷蘭東印度公司的模糊且同時的效忠,維持了一個獨立的政治體系。透過精英的中國文化,在他們的多民族和多宗教居民之間形成了一個共同的價值體系,促進了與清朝中國之間更緊密的商業聯繫。這個非凡定居點的故事揭示了東亞歷史中的一個過渡時期,當時中國國家、商人和移民的主導地位讓位於東南亞大陸上更為明確的國界及海上的西方主導。
