摘要
关于古代中国交通与城市的发展问题,学界已有的研究成果多集中在一些断代、局部问题,对于长时段、全方位的宏观分析明显不够。本文即从较为宏观意义上的古代中国交通与城市的发展问题展开讨论,认为交通网络变迁是推动古代中国城市体系形成与发展的重要力量。一是特征鲜明的驿道交通网络构建对于古代中国行政中心城市体系的形成及运转至关重要。二是隋唐以来大运河交通兴起所带动的运河城市大发展,推动了行政中心城市体系的进一步完善,显示出古代中国城市体系演变的新趋向。三是明中叶以来远距离商道交通的兴起带动了沿江、沿海港口城市的显著发展,昭示着全国城市体系再次发生新变化。
Most of the existing research on the transportation and city development in ancient China focuses on chronological and local issues, and the macroscopic analysis of a long period of time and a full range of aspects is obviously insufficient. This paper discusses the transportation and urban development in ancient China in a macroscopic sense, and holds that the change of transportation network is an important reason for the formation and development of urban system. First, the construction of the distinctive post road transportation network was crucial to the formation and operation of the administrative city system during the ancient time. Second, the grand canal city development driven by the rise of grand canal traffic since the Sui and Tang dynasties promoted the further improvement of the administrative city system, showing the new trend of the evolution of the urban system in ancient China. Third, the rise of long-distance commercial traffic since the middle of the Ming dynasty has driven the significant development of coastal port cities along the river as well as the sea, which indicates another brand-new change of the national urban system.
