Abstract

This paper will focus on the piracy issue along the seacoast of the Guang Dong Province during the Jia Qing Period to the Guang Xu Period (1810-1885) during the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, China and France both singed the Tientsin China France Pact. The friendship between the China and Vietnam did not resolve the piracy issue. This issue has never been solved; rather, on the contrary, it remains to this day. This paper covers only a small part of the pirate history research. I hope to expand the research filed by the China ocean history development. This paper is divided into six chapters. This second chapter is about pirate development history in Qing Dynasty and stresses the importance in every stage. The third chapter analyzes organization, source, motive, resource, and geography to further understand the pirate society. The fourth chapter is about the penalty under the law of the Qing Dynasty and furthermore, the unfair practices that occurred after the pirates surrendered or were arrested. The fifth chapter is about how the piracy issue evolved into more problems. The sixth chapter is about the influence on seacoast trading. After all, business ships are profitable objects to the pirates. The last chapter views the pirate activities from an international aspect, for example, Vietnam, England, Portugal and France, etc. These topics are the main discussion targets in this paper.
