“海权”，之于陆海兼备、文明璀璨的中国，本应该是一个被最早认识的实践和理论。但很可惜，这个19世纪末20世纪初流行起来的国际政治概念，至今对于大多数中国人仍旧还是“生面孔”。自1840年英国海军武力叩开中国大门之后，海洋方向便成为中国地缘战略中最薄弱的环节。1895年，甲午战争的失败更成为中国“陆主海从”文明模式彻底衰落的分水岭。新中国成立之后，朝鲜战争、中印冲突、中苏关系破裂，以及美苏冷战和中美苏（俄）大三角关系的博弈，铸成了当代中国的海陆地缘战略环境。迄今，在中国30余年改革开放以及冷战后一系列新的战略经营下，中国陆上方向的战略环境大大改善。但海洋方向却依旧面临着钓鱼岛问题、台湾问题、南海问题等复杂且一时难以突破的困境和挑战。

海权的历史影响，纵贯中国近现代170年的历史，也造就了一代代中国人迈向海洋的渴望。自1900年马汉海权思想传入中国后，探索中国海权问题的有识、有志之士虽为数不算多，却一直薪火相传。进入21世纪，随着中国综合国力的强盛，中国国内的海权问题研究再次进入一个新的时期。相关研究成果不仅包括海军历史研究、海权思想理论研究，也有不少向国家安全、军事安全和地缘战略研究领域渗透的杰作。这些负载着民族复兴和国家强盛历史使命的学术成果无疑将推动中国的海权思想理论及海军战略理论进一步发展和成熟。

暨南大学的鞠海龙教授是一位长期坚持海权问题研究的“70后”年轻学者。他的这部《中国海权战略参照体系》不仅总结了当代中国海权战略应当从近代中国历史中所吸取的教训，分析了海洋强国秉承传统海权思想针对中国的一般规律，还以一个年轻学人的活跃思维和犀利视角，评析了海权在中国整体发展战略中的地位和影响。作者还超越了传统“海防”、“塞防”相互对立的思想窠臼，阐述了新时期中国北方陆疆安全和东南海洋战略之间相互倚重、相互支撑的内在联系，提出了发展海权必须强化“陆基双区”和“海基双区”的战略构想。这种将海权理论研究推向国家战略实践的努力尤其值得称道。

鞠海龙教授称我是“中国海权问题研究的先行者”，实不敢当。但海军、海权、海洋的确是我学术生涯和职业生涯的几乎全部。我所著述的20多本著作也基本都与海权有关。我了解每一位海洋问题研究者心中的蓝色梦想，理解他们为国家强盛而不懈努力的精神，也懂得他们作为中国人的独特的时代理想。基于此，撰上文以应作者写序之请，并激励后来学人不懈努力！

"Sea power" should have been the earliest practice and theory to be recognized in China, which has both land and sea and brilliant civilization. Unfortunately, this concept of international politics, which became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is still a "face" for most Chinese. Since the British Navy opened China's door by force in 1840, maritime direction has become the weakest link in China's geostrategy. In 1895, the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War became a watershed in the complete decline of China's "land and sea from the civilization model". After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Korean War, the Sino-Indian conflict, the rupture of Sino-Soviet relations, and the game of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union and the Sino-Soviet (Russia) triangular relationship forged the strategic environment of contemporary China's maritime and land borders. So far, under China's more than 30 years of reform and opening up and a series of new strategic operations after the Cold War, China's strategic environment in the land direction has been greatly improved. However, the maritime direction is still facing complex difficulties and challenges such as the Diaoyu Dao issue, the Taiwan issue and the South China Sea issue, which are difficult to break through for the time being. The historical influence of sea power, which runs through the 170-year history of modern China, has also created the desire of generations of Chinese to step into the sea. Since the introduction of the Mahan idea of sea power into China in 1900, although there are not many people with insight and lofty ideals to explore the issue of China's sea power, they have been passed on from generation to generation. In the 21st century, with the strengthening of China's comprehensive national strength, the study of sea power in China has once again entered a new period. The relevant research results include not only naval history research, maritime power thought and theory research, but also many masterpieces that have penetrated into the fields of national security, military security and geostrategic research. These academic achievements, which carry the historical mission of national rejuvenation and national strength, will undoubtedly promote the further development and maturity of China's maritime power ideology and naval strategy theory. Professor Ju Hailong of Jinan University is a "post-70s" young scholar who has long adhered to the study of sea power. His "Reference System for China's Maritime Power Strategy" not only summarizes the lessons that contemporary China's maritime power strategy should learn from modern Chinese history, analyzes the general law of maritime powers adhering to traditional maritime power thinking against China, but also evaluates the status and influence of sea power in China's overall development strategy with the active thinking and sharp perspective of a young scholar. The author also transcends the traditional ideological trap of "coastal defense" and "plugged defense" opposing each other, expounds the intrinsic relationship between China's northern land border security and southeast maritime strategy in the new era, and puts forward the strategic concept of strengthening "land-based dual zones" and "sea-based dual zones" to develop sea power. This effort to push the study of sea power theory into the practice of national strategy is particularly commendable. Professor Ju Hailong called me "a pioneer in the study of China's sea power", but I dare not be one. But the navy, sea power, and the sea are almost all of my academic career and career. The more than 20 books I have written are also basically related to sea power. I understand the blue dream in the heart of every ocean researcher, their spirit of unremitting efforts to make their country strong, and their unique ideals of the times as Chinese. Based on this, the above article was written in response to the author's request to write the preface, and to motivate subsequent scholars to make unremitting efforts!
