戏金、罟帆船与港口：广州湾时期碑铭所见的硇洲海岛社会

Abstract:Previously，in the Chinese maritime history researches，the role of remote islands was neglected as the scholarly attention was usually given to the commercial exchanges initiated from principal ports in southern China. However，benefiting from the studies of historical anthropology on costal area and island especially fisher folk in recent decades，scholars are taking steps to unfold the veil of the complicated local society in China. This paper starts with an inscription dated back to 1903，which was issued by Kong-Koc （gongju），local agency of French colonial government in Guangzhou Bay. Oral testimonies，French archives and local documents are also used in this case study：A group of boat and shed living people played a key role in a port community of Naozhou Island. They enhanced economic privilege and developed reciprocal relations with land villagers and merchants through their contribution to temples and fishery cooperation. From them，there was the “art of not being settled （on land）”；by advantage of the officially-recognized cultural and religious resources in annual Dragon Boat Festival，they secured their position during the turbulent transfer from imperial state period to colonial state period during the early 20th century.
