中文摘要：

海上丝绸之路作为一种跨地域的地理现象,涉及到物资、商品、技术、文化、移民等要素的时空流动以及在岭南的区域影响。基于历史文献资料分析,以历史地理视角,探讨海上丝绸之路在岭南所产生的区域效应。研究表明,海上丝绸之路使岭南及其江河、海陆交互处的地域具有明显的地理边缘效应,对外贸易及其伴生的诸要素的溢出、汇融和交流,带来岭南区域地理空间结构、功能的变化,以及在土地利用、经济地理、聚落地理和社会文化地理等方面的区域效应。结合当下＂一带一路＂国家战略的提出,以史为鉴,对指导＂21世纪海上丝绸之路＂在岭南的实践具有一定的现实意义。

英文摘要：

As a trans-local geographical phenomenon, the Maritime Silk Road involves the temporal-spatial mobility of material, commodity, technology, culture and migrants, as well as their regional effects in Lingnan. The paper tries to explore these effects from a historical-geographical perspective based on an analysis of historical literature. The findings indicate that the Maritime Silk Road benefited Lingnan and areas bordering between rivers（or seas） and the land with great geographical marginal effects, as foreign trade, as well as the over-flowing, melting and exchanging of elements engendered in this process, had brought about not only changes in the spatial structure and functions of the whole Lingnan region, but also regional effects in land use, economic geography, settlement geography and socio-cultural geography. Therefore, against the background of the state strategy of the Belt and Road Initiative, this historical-geographical perspective has realistic implications in the practice of the 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road in Lingnan.
