由“丙寅词”看天津近代社会

The poems by Feng Wenxun and modern society of Tianjin

冯文洵所作《丙寅天津竹枝词》,或谓其"是一部天津活的地方志,也是一个天津社会的万花筒"。藉以可一窥开埠及其他事变对该城的政治、经济影响,特别是其社会生活与风习情状。而冯文洵之所以能有这样的作品,自与他特定的生平履历和情怀分不开。将该作品所展示的关于近代天津社会的斑斑点点,有选择性地串接和整合起来予以审视和解读,对认识天津社会变迁当有助益。

The poems written by Feng Wenxun can be considered as a biography and kaleidoscope of modern Tianjin in relation to politics, economy, and folklore. Feng has his passions for, and understand- ings of the social changes of Tianjin well expressed.
