基于当前“镇”研究的思考

Thoughts of Research on the Town at Present

在我国古代,由于时空的演变,"镇"的地理表现存在较大的差异,因而并不专指商镇,需要具体问题具体分析。镇类型的划分可因标准不同而异,判定镇的职能当是研究的第一步。在具体操作中,拓展镇为经济型镇级中心地和非经济型镇聚落将有利于解决研究中的实际问题。在界定商镇属性时,应避免以点代面,以量变代替质变的倾向。加强镇与乡村关系的研究是实现镇研究新突破的重要途径。

With the evolvement of time and space,the show of towns in geography were different and couldn＇t be regarded only as commercial towns in ancient history,which needs to be analyzed with particular questions.To judge the functions of towns should be the first step in our research with the different standards.It＇s useful for resolving study difficulties to expand the towns as economic town centers and non-economic town as dwelling places.To judge the nature of commercial towns,we should avoid two tendencies.The first one is overgeneralization,and the other is to analyze with quantitative changes instead of qualitative changes.We should emphasize the research on the relationship between towns and villages,which will be an important way to make a breakthrough in further researches.
