区域之间的“接点”:界限逾越与空间重构——以河西走廊与东天山地区为例

Inter-region“Junction”:Limit Jump and Spatial Reconstruction——The Hexi Corridor and East Tianshan Mountainous Area as a Case

历史上北方边疆地区的界限并没有阻断两边民众之间的交流,反而加速了二者之间的互动,其中的贸易是促进互动的主要方式。在商业贸易的过程中形成了一些边疆贸易城市,它们既是关卡也是榷场,充当了过渡地带区域之间的"接点"。明清以来河西走廊与东天山地区之间出现过长城、嘉峪关等人为设置的界限,然而族群流动还是超越了界限,改变了空间结构。这两个地区的城市在特定的历史时期还形成了商业贸易的城市集群,使东天山地区-河西走廊西段这一过渡地带呈现出一体化的趋势。

The borderland boundary in the north in history failed to block folk communication across the border but accelerated interaction between the two sides, with its trade as a main approach to promoting interaction.In the process of trade and commerce, there have emerged some frontier trade cities, which are either customs pass or frontier market as a junction of transition zone. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties,there have appeared the Great Wall and Jia Yuguan Pass as well as man-made boundary between the Hexi Corridor and East Tianshan Mountains but ethnic-groups flow went beyond limit and changed spacial structure. In the cities of the two regions during the specific historical period,there existed city of trade and commerce in clusters,integrating the transition belt between east Tianshan region and the Hexi Corridor at initial stage.
