清代江南都市娱乐业发展探微

A Probe into the Development of City Entertainment Sectors in Jiangnan's Area During the Qing Dynasty

随着商品经济的发展和都市化进程的加快,清代江南民众娱乐消费日益增长。至少从晚明至清代,在江南都市群落中初步形成了娱乐市场网络。在娱乐需求旺盛的情况下,固定娱乐市场、季节性娱乐集市、节日娱乐集市等在一定程度上可以满足传统社会各阶层人民的精神文化需要。由此说明,在清代江南,城市民众不仅满足生存需要,也在某种程度上满足了发展需要和享受需要,突破了自然经济条件下物质消费的主导阶段,表明晚明以来江南社会经济文化及城市化较之以往有了明显进步。

With the development of commodity economy and acceleration of urbanization, Jiangnan＇s mass consumption for entertainment had been grown increasingly during the Qing Dynasty. At least from the late Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, entertainment market network had been formed initially among cities in the south of the Yangtze River area. In the circumstances of strong entertainment demands, fixed entertainment market, seasonal and festival＇ s entertainment fairs, etc. could meet all class people＇s spiritual and cultural needs in the traditional society to a certain extent. This shows that city life can not only satisfy people＇s survival demands, but also meet their development and enjoyment needs during the Qing Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River area, which broke through the phase of material consumption in natural economy conditions, and indicated much more progress since late Ming Dysanty in society, economy, culture and urbanization than in the past in the Jiangnan＇s area.
