东北内蒙地区金代之政区及其城市发展

The Local Government Divisions and the Development of Cities of Northeastern and Inner Mongolian Areas in the Jin Dynasty

金代东北及内蒙地区之府、州、县约为7府、35州(路、司)、90县,其承辽代之疆域,但政区经省并后,则设置较少,城市数亦应相对减少。但以考古资料而言,则金代城市有显著发展,其数量约为辽代之二倍,以人口数而言,金代亦有明显增长,恰又为辽代之二倍,说明城市发展与人口之关系。

There are 7 prefectures , 35 states and 90 counties in Northeastern & Inner Mongolian Areas in the Jin Dynasty, it inherited the domain from the Liao Dynasty. The local government divisions in the Jin Dynasty are less than that in the Liao Dynasty after combining some states or counties, and thus the number of cities ought to decrease correspondingly. However, the number of cities in the Jin Dynasty are two times more than that in the Liao Dynasty according to archaeological materials. In addition, the same result can be seen in the changes of population. This explains the relationship between the development of cities and population.
