摘　　要：雷州半岛地处中国南疆,为中外往来的航海要隘,至迟自汉代开始即为海上丝绸之路的支点地区。明朝时期,中央政府或在半岛沿岸设置营防、水寨、烽堠等海防据点,或以此为商埠与外界进行贸易往来。而西方国家远洋来华时,间或也关注该地区。故明代不少中外舆地图往往有雷州半岛的标注。从古代舆地图的雷州半岛标注分析入手,详细列出地图中该区域相关地名的标注,并对个案进行分析,探讨雷州半岛在明代国家海防、对外贸易等方面所扮演的角色,梳理雷州半岛与外界交通的历史。Leizhou Peninsula is located in the South of China. It has been the main navigation pass between China and foreign countries and a fulcrum area of the Maritime Silk Road at least since the Han Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasties, the central government set up coastal defense fortifications, such as barracks, water stockades, beaches and so on, or used them as commercial ports to trade with the outside world. Western countries often focused on this region when they came to China from the sea. Therefore, the Leizhou peninsula were often marked on the Chinese and foreign maps in Ming Dynasty. Based on the analysis of the ancient maps of Leizhou Peninsula, this paper lists the names of the relevant places in detail, and makes a case study to explore the national coastal defense and foreign trade of Leizhou Peninsula in Ming Dynasty, and sort out the history of communication between Leizhou Peninsula and the outside world.
