清代陇东地区镇的类型分析及其形成因素

The Type of Towns in Longdong Area in the Qing Dynasty

明清时期是市镇经济快速发展时期。在江南地区,市镇亦然成为镇的代名词。但由于区域自然环境的差异性与各地经济发展水平的不同,尤其在北方边疆地区,镇的类型呈现多样化。具体到陇东地区,镇的类型主要有军镇、驿镇、商镇、混合镇等,但其中以商贸性质的镇为主。另外,历史因素和自然地理环境是造成镇的类型形成的重要因素。

Market towns developed very fast during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the southern areas, such towns became the pronouns of towns. Because of the differences in natural environment and economic growth in different areas, the types of towns showed great diversity, especially in the north frontier areas. The type of towns in Longdong included military towns, post towns, commercial towns, and muhifunction towns and so on. In general, the diversity was due to history and natural factors.
