清末民初鸭绿江流域的开发

The Development of the Yalu River Region from Late Qing Dynasty to Beginning of the Republic

清末民初时期,鸭绿江流域从"无商、无兵、无村镇市落"的边外蛮荒之区,逐渐变成人烟稠密、商贾辐辏之地。该流域此般巨变,移民在其中功不可没。关内大批移民迁移至鸭绿江流域,披荆斩棘,或农或商,在各自从事的谋生活动中,悄然改变着当地的经济现状与政治格局,为这一地区的发展奠定了基础。在此过程中,政区得以建立,边防得以巩固,今日以安东、宽甸、桓仁、通化、辑安、临江、长白等7个主要城镇为主体的沿江城市群之雏形就此形成。

The Yalu River region was once a wild land.From late Qing Dynasty to beginning of the Republic,migration in the Yalu River region contributed to population growth,economic development and frontier defense in this area.Then the Government strengthened its domination there by establishing administrational institution and defense agencies.As a result,it was greatly changed by the immigrants from inside the Shanhaiguan Pass.The new setup of this area which concluded seven main towns along the river that called Andong,Kuandian,Huanren,Tonghua,Jian,Linjiang and Changbai was formed in the end.
