略论近代以来南京城市商贸中心的变迁

Discussion On the changes of urban commercial center of Nanjing since modern times

历史上南京城内最繁华的商贸空间主要集中于城南沿秦淮河两岸。近代之后,南京城市商业中心由城南一点,发展为城南、下关、新街口三足鼎立。下关、新街口商业中心出现的主要原因在于开埠通商、国府奠都等政治因素,以及现代交通业的快速发展。

In history, the most prosperous commercial center in Nanjing was concentrated in southern regions along the Qinhuai River. Since modem times, three commercial centers in Nanjing city, South city, Xiaguan, and Xinjiekou emerged from the original commercial center. The emergence of new business center is largely due to the opening of the commercial port, the establishment of the capital, and the rapid development of modem transportation.
