曹妃甸考

The Changes of Caofeidian in the Succeeding Years of the Ming and Qing dynasties

曹妃甸是由特定历史时期形成的滦河蚀余三角洲岛,自明清以降曹妃甸名称经历了从漕(曹)北店到曹妃殿再到曹妃甸的变迁过程,而每一次变迁都反映了相应历史时期曹妃甸岛的变迁和人们对该岛的开发状况。明代文人墨客的诗文反映了明代及以前曹妃甸岛的"古店甘泉"和漕运状况;而清代的实地测量不仅揭示了当时曹妃甸的具体面积,也表明从同治到光绪期间该岛的变迁有加剧的趋势;曹妃甸岛上灯塔的兴废则从另一个角度反映了该岛的变迁情况。

Caofeidain was an residual island of Luan River Delta, which came into being in the process of history. In the succeeding years of Ming and Qing Dynasties, Caofeidian was successively named as 漕北店,曹纪殿 and 曹纪甸. Each name reflected the changes of Caofeidian and the connection between the island and human beings. The works of men of letters in the Ming Dynasty reflected the situation of 古店甘泉 in Caofeidian Island and sea transportation around this area; the field survey conducted in the Qing Dynasty not only showed the area of the island, but also reflected the intensified trend of changes of the island; the rise and fall of the lighthouse on the island reflected changes of Caofeidian Island from another angle.
