论晚明的旅游风尚

A Discussion on the Fashion of Tourism during Late Ming Dynasty

晚明社会,旅游活动异常兴盛。这种风尚的产生与发展有着深广的社会环境背景。士大夫有感于政治黑暗,科举竞争愈加激烈遂无意仕进而走向旅游;另一方面,也与商品经济撞击下新的生活方式、思维模式、价值取向密切相关;而交通条件与旅游环境的改善也为旅游的发展提供了客观条件。旅游活动拓宽了人们的视野,使人们的交往更加密切。

In late Ming Dynasty, the tourist activity was extraordinarily prosperous. This fashion had profound social and environmental background. On one hand, the scholar-bureaucrats were astonished by the political darkness and the hopeless intense competition of imperial examinations. Therefore, they turned the intention of promotion into traveling. On the other hand, this phenomenon was also closely related with the life style, mode of thought and value tropism. The improvement of traffic condition and tourist environment had also provided the possibility for traveling development. Tourism open up people＇ horizon and hasten the people＇s communication.
