摘要
在清王朝的对外关系中,中缅宗藩关系始终占据着一个特殊位置。因为这种关系的存在,清王朝对西南边界的划分一直比较模糊,缺乏明确的领土意识;在某种程度上,其西南边防建设也成为一种摆设、形式。然而,在近代以来,因为英法的入侵,清王朝在加强自身西南边防建设的同时,也开始力图维持中缅宗藩关系的存在,从而成为缅甸抵抗外来入侵的坚强后盾。晚清中缅宗藩关系的这种特殊性,对于西南边防建设的研究不无启示。
In the foreign relations of the Qing Dynasty, Sino-Burmese Tributary relation occupied a special position. Because of this relationship, the Qing Dynasty had no clear understaning of boundary demarcation. Then, its southwest frontier construction was just a kind of decoration. While in the modern history, the Anglo-French invasion forced the Qing Dynasty to reinforce its southwest frontier. At the same time, the Qing Dynasty began to do its best to defend the Sino-Burmese Tributary relation. As a result, the Qing Dynasty became the strong backing of Burma. Because of the particularity of sino-Burmese Tributary relation, the southwest frontier differed greatly from the other border areas in frontier building. Consequently, the study of the southwest frontier is out of the ordinary.
