湖滩争夺与省界成型——以皖北青冢湖为例

The Contending of Lake Shoal and Shaping of Provincial Boundary——Take Qingzhong Lake in North Anhui Province as an Example

在传统地方史志的记载中,对于一个行政区疆域的记载往往是以"四至八到"的形式来表示的,依照这种粗略的记载,在很多地区根本无法准确的划出政区之间的边界。在各级政区的边界类型中,又属省界的地位比较特殊。对于省界争端的处理往往会面临"属人主义"和"属地主义"两种原则的抉择,而争端的处理过程其实体现了中央政府、省政府、基层政府与普通民众之间的多重复杂、互动的关系。民国时期青冢湖苏皖省界纠纷的处理过程正是体现了上述关系,并且展现了原本模糊的省级政区界限逐渐演变为精确的几何界线的动态过程。

The territory of an administrative district was usually described by the form of ＂boundaries marked in four or eight directions＂ in the traditional local records. According to this, it is impossible to line out the exact borderlines between districts in many regions. Among the various borderline types, the provincial boundary is relatively special. Those who had to deal with the disputes of provincial boundary were often required to choose the principal of territory or nationality, while the process of the dealing embodied the multi-complicated and interactive relationships among central government, provincial governments, grass-roots governments and publics. The dealing process of disputes on Jiangsu（江苏） and Anhui（安徽） Provincial boundary in Qingzhong Lake（青冢湖） region was just an example of this. Besides, it also opened out the dynamic process from vague provincial boundary to accurate geometrical boundary lines.
