论《史记·货殖列传》中经济都会的数目及等级划分问题

Discussion about the Number of Economic City and Classification in Biographies of Extremely Wealthy Businessmen in Historical Records

以往从历史地理学的角度对《史记.货殖列传》的研究,学者们大多关注于经济区的划分问题,讨论也很深入,而对于经济大多一笔带过,未作深论。老一辈历史地理学家史念海先生曾对经济都会作过论述,详实而具体。但并未引起历史地理学界对这一问题的关注。相关的书籍对经济都会的介绍,也是仁者见仁,智者见智,未有统一的说法。笔者认同史先生经济都会二十一说,但其对经济都会等级的划分似有值得商榷之处。

From the historical geography perspective on the research in Biographies of Extremely Wealthy Businessmen in His- torical Records. Most scholars pay close attention to the problem of classification and discuss deeply, but discussion to economic city is very simple. Famous historical geography study on family sea economy will be discussed, detailed and specific, but not from the historical geography circles of concern on this issue. Related books on the economy will be introduced, but also have different point of view. The author agree with the point of Mr. Shi Nianhai about the economy city having views of twenty-one, but about the classi- fication of economic city can be further considered.
