近代上海社会的嬗变(1843-1937)

Social Change in Modern Shanghai

近代上海社会的研究一直是社会史研究的热点,上海作为中国第一批开埠城市,对近代中国市民生活以及民族工业发展影响巨大。文章通过对近代上海社会新旧管理机构的考察,《地皮章程》对上海租界扩张所起作用的研究以及外国来华传教士等人记述的对比发现,近代上海社会的发展伴随着血腥与畸形,它的嬗变是非主动性的,它在近代浮华的背后却是旧时代中国典型半殖民化的标本。

Modern Shanghai has been a hot research topic in the domain of social history study. As the first port opening city,Shanghai had a great influence on Chinese urban people＇s life and the development of national industry. By studying the old and new administration institutions in modern Shanghai,including the role that ＂The Articles of Association of the Land＂played in the process of Shanghai Concession expanding and documents written by foreign missionaries,it is discovered that the development of modern Shang was accompanied with blood in an abnormal way. Its change is not initiative. It was the specimen of halfcolonization in old China behind its flashy cover.
