明代南方中外民族地区大象述议

摘要

The natural environment is relatively intact in Ming Dynasty. Asian elephants live in the Chenla, Champa, Siam and China Guangxi, Guangdong and Yunnan. The government of Ming captures elephants with trapping, trap, dart and hidden weapon underground in order to meet the need of the instrument, war, fishing and other recreation and transportation. Elephant, as a specialty carrier, from one side, plays an active role in the ex-change and integration of foreign peoples, Han and Zhuang.%明代自然环境相对完好。亚洲象在真腊、占城、暹罗及国内广西、广东和云南三省均有生存。明代汉族王朝为了在重大朝仪、战争、娱乐和运输等方面需要，下令国内土官与汉族军队采用诱捕、陷井、药箭和地下暗器等方法扑捉大象。大象作为一个特色载体，从一个侧面起到了促进中外民族及汉族与壮族等少数民族交流与融合的积极作用。
