清末民初钦廉改隶之争探究

On the Change of Administrative Regionalization of Qinlian (钦廉) In the Late Qing and Early Republic China Era

清末民初,广东之钦廉曾三次被提议改隶广西省。第一次是在光绪末年,与广西迁省南宁一并提出,因当时桂林籍官绅的强烈反对和清政府财政拮据而未实现。另外两次是在民国初年老桂系势力发展的背景下提出,因广东各属绅商、侨寓外地各社会团体的强烈反对以及桂粤矛盾等多种因素仍未实现。通过对此事件的分析,可以得出如下结论:在研究民国初期的行政区划变更时,不仅要考虑传统的因素,还要考虑基层民意、地方绅商的势力和近代报纸的舆论影响。

In the late Qing and the early Republic China,the Qinlian district of Guangdong had been proposed to be incorporate to Guangxi province for three times.This idea was first brought up in the last years of the Guangxu period,with the idea of changing Guangxi's capital city to Nanning.However,this attempt had failed due to the vehement opposition of the Guilin officials and gentry and the grave financial situation at that time.In the early Republic of China,with the increasing power of the old Guangxi warlord,the idea was proposed for the second and third time.But the attempts had not been realized because of the powerful opposition of the local folks and the contradiction between Guangdong and Guangxi Province.By analyzing this,the thesis argues that in the research of the administrative divisions in the early Republic of China,we should not only consider the traditional factors,but also the will of the common people,the power of local gentry merchants and the influence of modern newspapers.
