中国传统社会中的宗族与城市：以清代常州为中心

Local Lineage and Urban in Traditional Society:For Example as Changzhou in Qing Dynasty

本文拟考查清代宗族尤其是江南文化望族的迁移方向,通过分析城市中宗族组织内部的巩固和分裂的二元性,来研究宗族组织与城市社会之间的互动,以及宗族组织所反映的城乡关系。本文认为,宗族的城居化是宗族城乡分化的表现,这既是宗族内部血缘和阶级分化的成果,也是城市商业发展的结果。但这种分化并不会毁坏宗族的凝聚力,反而还会加快宗族的发展。所以传统社会的城乡分化并不会导致现代意义上的城乡差别,相反却将城乡真正融为一体。

This essay intend to research the migratory direction of the distinguished family in Jiangnan during the Qing Dynasty.The interaction of local lineage and city society,and relationship of urban and countryside are both studied by exploring the urbanization of local lineage and its duality between solidifying and breaking inside.This essay illustrates the urbanization of local lineage is the result of difference between the urban and country.This difference can not only destroy but also accelerate the cohesive force of local lineage.So the relationship of urban and country in the traditional society of China is not the polarization between the downtown and the rural area in the modern sense.
