考古證明,汕頭係一嗰漁村。喺宋朝時,汕頭係揭陽縣鴕江都嘅一個漁村。元代嘅時候,這到給叫為「廈嶺」。喺1563年(明世宗嘉靖四十二年),汕頭變成潮州府澄海縣嘅一部分。喺1574年(明神宗萬曆二年),汕頭被稱為「沙汕坪」。康熙五十六年,清政府喺度築炮臺,並改稱「沙汕頭」(沙汕頭炮臺),雍正、乾隆期間,逐漸被簡稱為「汕頭」。喺乾隆二十一年,清政府喺媽嶼島設立「常關」。
汕頭市喺1860年開埠,係近代中國最早對外開放嘅港口城市之一。喺20世紀到30年代,汕頭港口吞吐量曾居全國排第3位,商業之盛居全國第7位,係粵東、閩西南、贛東南嘅交通樞紐、進出港口同埋商品嘅集散地。
喺第二次鴉片戰爭後,由於潮州城區民眾嘅強烈反抗,害到外國人主動放棄喺潮州嘅城區貿易,改變選擇相對安全嘅汕頭進行貿易。咸豐十年,應西方列強要求,汕頭正式對外開市。汕頭至開始喺優越嘅地理位置同埋相對安全嘅環境,慢慢超越咗潮州城區,變成咗粵東嘅經濟中心。
汕頭係喺1921年成立市政廳,同澄海分治,但重係屬嘅潮循道管理。喺1958年,設立汕頭專區,潮汕地區嘅行政、文化中心向汕頭轉移。喺1981年,設立汕頭嘅經濟特區。喺1991年,重新調整行政區域,潮汕地區分為三個市,汕頭市就變咗其中一個市。

歷史

古代早期考古資料顯示,深圳早在新石器時代中期就有土著居民繁衍,人類活動歷史超過6700年。有文字可考的歷史文獻顯示,深圳的郡縣史超過1700年;歷史沉澱下來的南頭城和東部南澳的大鵬城遺跡也都逾600年;客家人的移民史也有300多年。

秦始皇三十三年(前214年)成為秦朝轄地,屬南海郡。漢朝時屬南海郡博羅縣,於南頭設鹽官,稱為「東官」。南越國時沿用先前建制。三國東吳設司鹽都尉。東晉咸和六年(331年),晉成帝分南海郡地設東官郡,兼置寶安縣,為寶安立縣之始。隋時改為南海郡轄。唐至德二年(757年),廢寶安縣,合歸東莞縣轄,隸屬廣州,於南頭設屯門軍鎮。南漢(大越國)時置媚川都採珍珠,屬興王府。宋亡,相傳宋帝昺投海死後,遺骸漂流至赤灣,葬於南山腳之下,今有深圳南山宋少帝陵。

明朝統一全國,於南頭衛城、大鵬所城二地設立衛所並築城,負責防衛廣東沿岸海上防務隸屬廣州,南頭城遂有「全廣門戶」之稱。深圳在明朝初年屬東莞縣,明正德十六年(1521年),葡萄牙佛朗機人入侵南頭城,爆發屯門海戰。萬曆元年(1573年),於南頭設立縣治,取名新安,喻意「革新鼎安、轉危為安」,治所南頭,轄今深圳和香港,最高時期派參將管轄。清康熙元年(1662年),為了防止沿海居民與鄭成功軍隊接觸,下達海禁政策及遷界令禁止居民出海,對新安縣影響極大,人口減少,田地荒廢,新安縣一度再次併入東莞縣。康熙八年(1669年),新安縣界由東莞劃回,縣治恢復。


語言

深圳是個擁有客家、廣府和潮汕三大族群的典型嶺南都市。 1979年以前,深圳的語言主要為客家話、粵語廣府話。經濟特區成立後,大量市外及廣東省外的人口湧入,他們多以普通話交流,本地粵語廣府話及客家話之主導地位被外省的普通話取代,成為非主流語言。外來人口中,因省籍族群不同,所操語言種類眾多,如潮州人之間的潮州話,如四川人之間的四川話;湖南人之間的湖南話;但湖南人與四川人交流多操普通話。在許多較大的公眾場合,如會議、新聞發布會、有不同族群人士之聚會、車站、機場、港口、商場及電視、廣播中,普通話為主導語言,而族群內部仍多用自己的方言交流。在深圳出生的外省裔年青人母語多為普通話而非其原省籍之方言,而本省裔年青人之母語則多為一種或以上的本省語言(亦即是廣府話、四邑話、潮州話、海陸豐話和客家話),本省裔年青人因長期受普通話作教學媒介及普通話大環境之影響,粵語廣府話的音韻、用法、詞彙及流利程度普遍遠不及香港、廣州等本省人佔多的城市。深圳在語言交流上,整體上呈普通話與廣府話共存的雙語特徵。

Addendum

Taai Pang Wan (大鵬灣, 又叫馬士灣 Mirs Bay) is located northeast of Crooked Island and Sai Kung Peninsula of Hong Kong. Ping Chau is in the middle of the bay. The north and east shores are Yantian, Kuichong, Dapeng (Dapeng Peninsula) and Nan'ao, Shenzhen.


Ping Chau (Chinese: 平洲) is an island in Hong Kong. It is also known as Tung Ping Chau (東平洲). Tung (Chinese: 東, meaning east) is prepended to the name so as to avoid possible confusion with Peng Chau, another island in Hong Kong with an identically pronounced name.


Peng Chau (坪洲) is a small island located off the north-eastern coast of Lantau Island (大嶼山). Peng Chau is known for its small island lifestyle, accessibility to fresh seafood, and several temples located around the island (including a Tin Hau temple built in 1792). The tallest point of the island is Finger Hill, which is 95m in height and provides hiking opportunities.

PART TWO


2、具有不可撤銷性。 這是指自開立信用證之日起,開證行就受到其條款和承諾的約束。如遇要撤銷或修改,在受益人向通知修改的銀行表示接受該修改之前,原信用證的條款對受益人依然有效。當然,在徵得開證行、保兌行和信用證受益人同意的情況下,即使是不可撤銷信用證也是可以撤銷和修改的。



即期信用證(L/C at sight)

是指受益人根據信用證的規定,可憑即期跟單匯票或僅憑單據收取貨款的信用證。


國際貿易理論中含義


即指開證行或付款行收到符合信用證條款的跟單匯票或裝運單據後,立即履行付款義務的信用證。其特點是受益人收匯安全迅速,有利於資金周轉。即期信用證又可分為單到付款信用證和電匯索償條款信用證(L/C with T/T Reimbursement Clause)兩種。前者是指開證行或其指定付款行一旦收到符合信用證規定的匯票和單據,便立即付款,開證人也應於單到立即向開證行付款贖單;後者是指開證行將最後審單付款的權利交給議付行,只要議付行審單無誤,在對受益人付款的同時,即以電報或電傳向開證行或其指定付款行索償,開證行或其指定付款行接到通知後立即以電匯方式向議付行償付。使用電匯索償條款信用證,比一般即期信用證收匯快,通常只需2-3天時間,有時當天即可收回貨款。即期信用證:即信用證規定受益人簽發即期信用證。另外信用證上規定免除受益人簽發匯票權憑貨運單據即可要求銀行立即付款的信用證亦屬於即期信用證。即期信用證付款時間為:銀行收到單據後5個工作日內。


不可撤銷信用證是指開證行一經開出、在有效期內未經受益人或議付行等有關當事人同意,不得隨意修改或撤銷的信用證;只要受益人按該證規定提供有關單據,開證行(或其指定的銀行)保證付清貨款。凡使用這種信用證,必須在該證上註明“不可撤銷”(Irrevocable)的字樣,並載有開證行保證付款的文句。按《跟單信用證統一慣例》(第600號出版物)第3條C款的規定:“信用證是不可撤銷的,即使信用證中對此未作指示也是如此。”原來的《跟單信用證統一慣例》國際商會(第500號出版物)1993年修訂本,分可撤銷信用證和不可撤銷信用證。

具有不可撤銷性。


這是指自開立信用證之日起,開證行就受到其條款和承諾的約束。如遇要撤銷或修改,在受益人向通知修改的銀行表示接受該修改之前,原信用證的條款對受益人依然有效。當然,在徵得開證行、保兌行和信用證受益人同意的情況下,即使是不可撤銷信用證也是可以撤銷和修改的。


========================================================

進出口貿易的支付方式中, L/C at sight是什麼意思?


即期信用證,指受證方在達到符合開證方開具的條件後(視具體信用證,FOB和CIF條件不同)可以立即向銀行提出結匯要求的信用證。

進出口貿易 jeun cheut hau mau yi: import and export commerce.


國際貿易是指世界各個國家(或地區)在商品和勞務等方面進行的交換活動。它是各國(或地區)在國際分工的基礎上相互聯繫的主要形式,反應了世界各國(或地區)在經濟上的相互依賴關係,是由各國對外貿易的總和構成的。


国际贸易(International Trade,也称世界贸易、进出口贸易)

------------------------------------------------------

EXCERPT

进出口贸易 - 产生

國際貿易是在一定的歷史條件下產生和發展起來的。形成國際貿易的兩個基本條件是:  
(1)社會生產力的發展;
  
(2)國家的形成。
社會生產力的發展產生出用於交換的剩餘商品,這些剩餘商品在國與國之間交換,就產生了國際貿易。

与对外贸易的区别   对外贸易是指一国(或地区)同其他国家(或地区)所进行的商品、技术和服务的交换活动。因此,提到对外贸易时要指明特定的国家。如中国的对外贸易等;某些岛国如英国、日本等也称对外贸易为海外贸易。 [與對外貿易的區別 對外貿易是指一國(或地區)同其他國家(或地區)所進行的商品、技術和服務的交換活動。因此,提到對外貿易時要指明特定的國家。如中國的對外貿易等;某些島國如英國、日本等也稱對外貿易為海外貿易。] 分类 [


分類 

一、按商品移动的方向国际贸易可划分为  

1、 (import Trade):將其他國家的商品或服務引進到本國市場銷售。
2、(Export Trade):將本國的商品或服務輸出到其他國家市場銷售。
3、(Transit Trade):A國的商品經過C國境內運至B國市場銷售,對C國而言就是過境貿易。由於過境貿易對國際貿易的阻礙作用,目前,WTO成員國之間互不從事過境貿易。進口貿易和出口貿易是就每筆交易的雙方而言,對於賣方而言,就是出口貿易,對於買方而言,就是進口貿易。此外輸入本國的商品再輸出時,成為複出口;輸出國外的商品在輸入本國時,稱為複進口。
  

二、按商品的形態國際貿易可劃分為

1、(Visible Trade):有實物形態的商品的進出口。例如,機器、設備、家具等都是有實物形態的商品,這些商品的進出口稱為有形貿易。
2、(Invisible Trade):沒有實物形態的技術和服務的進出口。專利使用權的轉讓、旅遊、金融保險企業跨國提供服務等都是沒有實物形態的商品,其進出口稱為無形貿易。三、按生產國和消費國在貿易中的關係國際貿易可分為
1、(Direct Trade):指商品生產國與商品消費國不通過第三國進行買賣商品的行為。貿易的出口國方面稱為直接出口,進口國方面稱為直接進口。
2(Indirect Trade)和(Transit Trade):指商品生產國與商品消費國通過第三國進行買賣商品的行為,間接貿易中的生產國稱為間接出口國,消費國稱為間接進口國,而第三國則是轉口貿易國,第三國所從事的就是轉口貿易。  


四、按貿易內容分為:服務貿易,加工貿易,商品貿易,一般貿易.

地理方向

國際貿易地理方向亦稱“國際貿易地區分佈”(International Trade by Region),用以表明世界各洲、各國或各個區域集團在國際貿易中所佔的地位。計算各國在國際貿易中的比重,既可以計算各國的進、出口額在世界進、出口總額中的比重,也可以計算各國的進出口總額在國際貿易總額(世界進出口總額)中的比重。由於對外貿易是一國與別國之間發生的商品交換,因此,把對外貿易按商品分類和按國家分類結合起來分析研究,即把商品結構和地理方向的研究結合起來,可以查明一國出口中不同類別商品的去向和進口中不同類別商品的來源,具有重要意義。
特點



國際貨物貿易屬商品交換範圍,與國內貿易在性質上並無不同,但由於它是在不同國家或地區間進行的,所以與國內貿易相比具有以下特點:  
1.國際貨物貿易要涉及不同國家或地區在政策措施、法律體系方面可能存在的差異和衝突,以及語言文化、社會習俗等方面帶來的差異,所涉及的問題遠比國內貿易複雜。  
2.國際貨物貿易的交易數量和金額一般較大,運輸距離較遠,履行時間較長,因此交易雙方承擔的風險遠比國內貿易要大。  
3.國際貨物貿易容易受到交易雙方所在國家的政治、經濟變動、雙邊關係及國際局勢變化等條件的影響。  
4.國際貨物貿易除了交易雙方外,還需涉及到運輸、保險、銀行、商檢、海關等部門的協作、配合,過程較國內貿易要復雜的多。
