摘要:: 长期以来，中国农耕区如山东省内的畜牛，定位于辅助农业生产的役畜，并不专门作为肉牛养殖。19世纪末始，德、日等为代表的列强以自身需求为基准向青岛及其腹地寻求肉用牛只，于当地建设屠宰场宰杀生牛，青岛牛肉业由此兴起。在供应本地市场的同时，青岛牛肉大量销往海外，其中以对日出口规模最盛，出口量长期居日本进口牛肉首位，进而深刻影响了日本的海外肉食来源结构。本文既以中国本位回顾近代青岛牛肉的产业化历程，也通过日方角度反观其为何能在国际市场取得成功，最后在双方视野的转换和对照中，再度审视由外需引发的近代中国牛肉产销问题。

Abstract:: For a long time, cattle in agricultural areas of China, such as Shandong Province, had been positioned as draught animals to assist agricultural production, but not specifically as beef cattle breeding. At the end of the 19th century, the great powers represented by Germany and Japan sought beef cattle from Qingdao and its hinterland based on their own needs, and built slaughterhouses in the local area to slaughter raw cattle, thus the beef industry in Qingdao rose. While supplying the local market, Qingdao beef was sold overseas in large quantities, among which the export scale to Japan was the largest, and the export volume ranked first in Japan’s imported beef for a long time, thus profoundly affecting Japan’s overseas meat source structure. This paper not only reviews the industrialization process of Qingdao beef in Late Imperial and Modern China from the standpoint of China, but also examines why Qingdao beef was successful in the Japanese market from the perspective of Japan. Finally, in the transformation and comparison of the two sides’ horizons, it re-examines the problems in the production and sales of modern Chinese beef caused by external demand.
