抗战后期的西安建都论

Capital Establishment in Xi'an towards the End of Anti-Japanese War

抗战后期随着胜利曙光出现,国都问题再次引起知识界的争论。一些知识分子鉴于西安四塞之地的大陆国防优越地位主张战后定都西安,并希望以建都西安从而促进大西北开发,渴望借助汉唐盛世文化来促进民族融合和中华民族的复兴;反对者则指出,海权时代已经来临,必须海陆并重,不能过分强调国都安全而退守内陆,西安建都时代已经成为过去,不能建都西安。

With the Victory coming into sight towards the end of Anti - Japanese War, capital establishment became a hot issue once a- gain among the intellectual circles. Some advocated that the capital should be settled in Xi＇an after the war because of its superiority in the mainland national defense in the hope of boosting the development of the northwest .region and promoting ethnic integration and na- tional rejuvenation by taking the advantage of the prosperous cultures in the Hang and Tang dynasties. Some opposed that with the arri- val of Sea Power Age, the sea and mainland were of equal importance for a country, that the capital＇s security shouldn＇t be overempha- sized by retreating inland, and that the day was gone when the capital was established in Xian.
