另一种城市形态--徽商与扬州城市文化教育图景

Another Urban Form:The Image of Anhui Merchants and Yangzhou Urban Education

关于中国古代地方城市形态的研究数量众多,但我们对于这一问题的了解依然十分有限,这并非由于史料的缺乏,而是由于研究方法上缺乏创新和人文关怀。以明清扬州为研究对象,基于徽商介入城市活动的梳理,着墨于该地区的城市文化教育建筑与景观,提供另样的解读城市形态发展轨迹和形成原因的视角。而这些与城市紧密关联的构成元素,能够为型构关于扬州城市的观念提供部分且不可或缺的基础,也正是涉及符号学意义的徽商与城市文化教育图景描绘的意义所在。

There have been many studies on the morphology of local ancient Chinese cities, but our understanding of this issue is still very limited. This is not due to the lack of historical materials, but because of the lack of innovative and humanistic care in research methods. Yangzhou City was involved with prosperity of the salt trade because of the north- south transport of the Grand Canal. The Huizhou culture, strongly injected in this region, brought about economic and cultural vitality, where the urban architecture and landscape of culture and education provide a new perspective of urban development. The elements of the city are a significant foundation of the concept of the city. It is the symbolic significance of the image of the merchants and urban education.
