近代邮政与中国社会之演变——对一宗邮政贩毒案件的社会学解读

The Modern Postal Service and The Changes of Chinese Society--A Sociological Interpreting of a Postal Illegal Drug Mongering Case

近代邮政取代传统邮驿制度给中国近代社会带来了一系列重要变化,而1925年发生于山西绥汾邮路上的一宗邮政贩毒案件就非常典型地反映了这种变化。从这起贩毒案件中可以解读出诸多社会信息,即近代邮政的建立及其发展改变了人与人之间交往的方式以及邮路沿线地区的经济结构,重新规范了人们之间的社会经济关系,并使犯罪手段日益新型化,整个社会变得越来越复杂。

The modern postal service replaced the traditional post system and brought about a series of important changes to modern Chinese society, and a postal illegal drug mongering case, occurring in Sui-Fen post road, Shanxi Province,in 1925 ,was a typical reflection of this kind of changes . From this postal illgal drug mongering case, we may obtain a great deal of social information： namely, the establishment of modern postal service as well as its development changed the way of interpersonal mode and the economic structure of the region along the post road,reshaped and standardized social and economic relations among the people,and made the means of criming increasingly new. Consequently the whole society became more and more complicated.
