作为古代东北亚海域内循环节点的大连港，在近代因英、法、俄等国的觊觎与侵略，性质和地位逐渐发生变化。日俄战争后日本占领“关东州”，大连港的港口、相关岛屿以及船上社会（渔民）等都在日本掌控下参与海域互动。1940年日本政府出台《海运统制令》后，大连港被日本纳入了海运一体化管理体制，营造了一个以大连港为中心的“海上共同体”假象。在海运统制理念下，东亚历史海域的近代大连港虽是“海上共同体”的核心点之一，但它是病态“海上共同体”的节点港口之一，也是殖民掠夺下的异化存在。
The nature and status of the port of Dalian，which was an ancient point of contact with the inner circulation of the Northeast Asian seas，gradually changed in modern times as Britain，France，Russia and others coveted and invaded it. After the Russo-Japanese War，Japan occupied “Kwantung Leased Territory”，making the port，the related islands and the society on board （fishermen），all under Japanese control to participate in the seas interaction. In particular，after the Japanese government issued the “Order of Control about Maritime Transport” in 1940，the port of Dalian was naturally incorporated into the system of integrated maritime management by Japan and created the illusion of a “community of maritime” centered on the port of Dalian. The modern port of Dalian in the historical seas of East Asia under the concept of control about Maritime Transport was one of the core points of the “community of maritime”，but it was one of the nodal ports of the sick “community of maritime” and an alienated existence under colonial plunder.
