劝业与交谊：南洋劝业会的国际色彩
Industry Development and International Relations: The Internationalization Characteristics of Nanyang Industrial Exposition

南洋劝业会是清末中国举办的规模最大的博览会，不仅收集中国各地物产进行展示，还开设参考馆和暨南馆陈列欧美、日本及南洋群岛的展品，实现由各国展品比较竞争带来的启发产业进步之效。举办期间又有参会各国以政府组织民间、民间自发，或政界官员以个人身份前来参观的形式展开访问活动，促进了清末中国与各国的交往与经济合作。劝业与交谊是南洋劝业会与国际交往的两大主题，南洋劝业会也由此成为具备国际化要素的国内博览会。
Nanyang Industrial Exposition is the largest exposition held in China in the late Qing Dynasty. It not only collected products from all over China, but also set up Reference Hall and Jinan Hall to display exhibits from Europe, America, Japan and the South Sea Islands, realizing the effect of industry development brought by the comparative competition of exhibits from various countries. During the exposition, there were visits organized by foreign government and foreign businessmen, and visit by political official in his personal capacity, which promoted the international relations and economic cooperation among China and these countries. Industry development and international relations were the two major themes of Nanyang Industrial Exposition, and Nanyang Industrial Exposition also became a domestic exposition with internationalization characteristics.
