在档案里面常常看到英国人提到这个地方，好像是个蛮受重视的列强竞争之地。 可是去对照今天的地图又不知道确切的地名是什麽？ 下面原文是1911年的大英百科： 线索是在辽东半岛，在辽东湾的出海口。 说在天津条约时开放，可是我去查条约里面好像也没看到这个口岸 第十一款 广州、福州、厦门、宁波、上海五处，已有江宁条约旧准通商外，即在牛庄、 登州、台湾、潮州、琼州等府城口，嗣後皆准英商办可任意与无论何人买卖，船货随时往 来。 有人看过这个名称吗？谢谢 NIU-CHWANG, a city of China, in the Manchurian province of Sheng-king (Liao-tung), in 40° 53' N. and 122° 7' E., about 35 m. (go m. by water) from the coast of the Gulf of Liao-tung, on what is now a small branch of the main eastern affluent of the Liao-ho. The population is estimated at 80,000. The city proper is a comparatively unimportant place with broken-down walls, but it is surrounded by a number of large and flourishing suburbs. About the beginning of the Ta-ts'ing dynasty (1644) Niu-chwang was the chief port on the river, but in the reign of K`ien-lung, owing mainly to physical changes, it was supplanted by Tien-chwang-tai farther down the stream, and towards the close of the 18th century this had in turn to give place to Ying-tsze still nearer the mouth. In ignorance of these facts Niu-chwang (now scarcely to be reached by a flat-bottomed river boat) was chosen as one of the ports to be opened to foreign trade by the treaty of Tien-tsin; and, though Ying-tsze had of necessity to be adopted as the site of the foreign settlements, Europeans still continue to speak of it as the port of Niu-chwang. --
