随着美洲新大陆的发现,东方航线的开辟,葡萄牙殖民者早就觊觎东西方航线的枢纽——澳门。明嘉靖三十二年(1553)托言舟触风涛,借地晾晒贡物在澳门搭茅屋居住。葡人以1557年在澳门筑室建城称为澳门开埠。由于历史地理的关系,澳门不仅成为东西方贸易、文化交流中心,也是医学交流的交汇点,其时间比香港还要早得多。 With the discovery of the New World of the Americas and the opening up of the east route, the Portuguese colonists have long embraced the hub of the east-west route, Macau. Ming Jiajing thirty-two years (1553) said the boat touch Typhoon Tao, borrow dry tribute living in Macau hut. Portuguese built the city in Macao in 1557 called the opening of Macao. Due to its historical geography, Macao has not only become the trade and cultural exchange center between the East and the West, but also the meeting point for medical exchanges, much earlier than Hong Kong.
