近代上海福建人群体结构与特点

Composition and Traits of the Social Group of Fujian People in Contemporary Shanghai

对上海开埠后100年间福建移民群体发展轨迹、群体结构和特性作了分析探讨,认为上海福建人的数量规模从来不曾超过江浙人和广东人,且无论在华界还是租界,都呈下降趋势。但在城市的商业运作和政治表达中,福建人群体却体现出鲜明的群体特性,这种群体特性使其在城市演进中仍然成为不可忽视的存在,在近代上海商业化、城市化的进程中扮演了重要角色。

This paper analyses and explores the development process, group composition and special traits of Fujian emigrants during the first 100 years after Shanghai was open to the outside as a seaport. The paper maintains that Fujian Emigrants in Shanghai have never been more than those from Jiangsu, or those from Zhejiang, or those from Guangdong in number. And the number tended to decrease whether in the Chinese inhabited areas or in the concessions under the colonial hale. But in terms of business operation and political expression the Fujian emigrants as a social group showed their clear characteristics, which made them part of the population not to be ignored in the evolution of the city. And it was their special traits as a social group that made it possible for Fujian emigrants to play an important role in the process of commercialization and urbanization of Shanghai.
