论中国疆域最终奠定的时空坐标

本文认为,资料断限于1820年的《嘉庆重修大清一统志》(“嘉庆志”)及所附“皇舆全图”,既承载着中国历史内在发展所能达到的空间极致,又记述着康熙帝祖孙四代对领土、边界、主权与边民所具有的清晰界定与认知理念,还附丽着沙俄与西欧列强对清朝领土主权的国际承认。因此,本文将中国疆域最终奠定的空间坐标判定在“嘉庆志”及所附“皇舆全图”所确定的领域。同时,1820年的清朝疆域,既是中国疆域范围的最终底定极点,也是东西方力量对比最终逆转的临界点,更是中国国势由强转弱的最后时刻。故本文将中国疆域最终奠定的时间坐标判定在该年。

On the Time and Space Coordinate of Final Formation of China's Territory

This paper thinks that Revised Gazetteer of Qing's Great Unification in Jiaqing Period (Jiaqing Chongxiu Yitongzhi) finished in 1820 and its "Complete Imperial Map" not only shows the space acme of historical development, but also records the legible definition and cognition ideas of four Qing emperors from Kangxi to Jiaqing about territory ,boundary , sovereignty and frontier subjects. Besides, it also shows the international acknowledgement over Qing's territorial sovereignty from Russia and other European powers. Hence, this paper thinks that the time and space coordinate of final formation of China's territory should be the domain confirmed in Revised Gazetteer of Qing's Great Unification in Jiaqing Period and "Complete Imperial Map".At the same time, the territory of Qing Dynasty in 1820 are both the final culmination of China's territory and the critical point for the West and the East to finally reverse in power. It is also the last moment for China to change from the mightiness to the weakness. Therefore this paper thinks that the year of 1820 is the time coordinate for China to establish her final territory.$$
