近代广州的公共空间与公共生活（1900～1938）——以公园、茶楼为中心的考察

Public Space and Public Life in Modern Times in Guangzhou(1900- 1938):Researches Centering around Parks and Tea Houses

近代广州的公园与茶楼,是时人进行娱乐休闲生活的重要场所,具有鲜明的平民化与世俗化特征。政府将公园视作开启民智的重要空间,通过在这一空间内修筑纪念建筑、举办纪念活动,将意识形态思想渗透入公众精神之中。这一时期的茶楼,由于雇请瞽姬、女伶、女招待,变相迎合时人狎妓之风,加之茶楼内暴力冲突的频发,国家权力遂对其进行一定的控制与干预。然而地方政治的动荡使社会混乱局面难以得到有效治理,政权的更迭削弱了政府稳定公共秩序的能力,也令政府对公共空间的控制与干预政策缺乏持续性。

In modern times(1900-1938),parks and tea houses in Guangzhou were highly popular places where people spent their leisure hours. Meanwhile,the government utilized these venues to influence public ethos. By building memorial sites and staging ceremonial activities,the government tried to let its ideology infiltrate into the mind of the mass. During that period,tea houses hired blind entertaining girls,actresses and waitresses to satisfy the need for prostitution. This,together with violence frequently occurring in the tea houses,led to the state power's intervention and close supervision. However,political turmoil at that time rendered efficient governance almost impossible,and power handovers could but weaken the government's capability of stabilizing public order. As a result,the government faied to have a sustaining policy of controlling and interfering in the public place.
