雍正时期湘桂走廊水陆驿道的复原与考察

Restoration and Investigation of the Post Road in Hunan-Guangxi Corridor during Yongzheng Period in Qing Dynasty

湘桂走廊是位于南岭之间、连通湖南和广西的狭长通道,也是官方水陆驿道必经之地。全州—临桂段是湘桂走廊的核心部分,其中的灵渠自古便是由中原通往岭南的交通要道,连接了湘江与漓江两个流域。雍正时期,全州至临桂的驿道分布着驿、铺和塘三种驿站,驿分布在州、县城中,塘多分布于水上驿道,铺多分布于陆上驿道。总体上是驿少而塘、铺较多,塘、铺之间的关系也更为密切。水陆驿道大体呈现平行分布格局,交汇之处通常形成较大的市镇。

The Hunan-Guangxi corridor is a narrow corridor through Nanling Mountains,which links Hunan and Guangxi.The official water post road and overland post road in Qing Dynasty passed here.The central part of the HunanGuangxi corridor was the section from Quanzhou to Lingui.Since ancient times,the Lingqu Canal has been the traffic artery from the Central Plains to the south of the Five Ridges,connecting the Xiangjiang river and the Lijiang river.During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing dynasty,there were three kinds of post stations named Yi,Pu and Tang on this road.Yi was distributed in the prefectures and counties.Tang was mostly distributed in the water post road.Pu was mostly distributed in the overland post road.On the whole,there were less Yi while more Pu and Tang in this road.And the relationship between Pu and Tang is closer.The water post road and overland post road generally present a parallel distribution pattern,and where they intersected usually formed larger towns.
