由於戈公振在 <中國報學史》的簡短介紹，許多學者專家都知道 ，於1822年在澳門出版的葡文報紙：《蜜蜂華報》，是中國領土上出 版的第一份外文報紙。然而，《蜜蜂華報》究竟是一份怎麼樣的刊物 呢？爲甚麼它會在澳門而不是別的中國地區首先出現呢？爲甚麼它會 在十九世紀二十年代初而不是別的時候在澳門出現呢？《蜜蜂華報》 本身的大致内容是如何的呢？它又有甚麼特點呢？本論文便是針對它 的緣起、發展、内容和影響力的一個初步的探討。

Because of the shortly introduction by Mr. Gou Gong Cheng in History of Press of China (1926), a number of students had known the "A Abelha da China", which was published in Portuguese at 1922 in Macao, is the first modern newspaper of China. But, because lack of first hand materials, there is no person to research the "A Abelha da China" before 1994. This essay is a primary inquiry to the ori gins, development, contents and influence of the "A Abelha da China", and shortly evaluate its value in history of press, history of modern China, and history of Macao, respectively.
