康定在茶马古道中的历史地位及新时期复兴探讨

Kangding's Historical Status in Ancient Tea and Horse Caravan Road and Kangding's Resurgence in a New Era

康定作为川藏茶马古道第一重镇和汉藏贸易最大的市场、民国时的三大商埠之一,历史上有过辉煌时期。但由于诸多因素的影响,现在康定的经济发展落后了。本文在回顾康定在藏汉茶马互市中的地位的同时,提出了复兴康定经济的命题。本文分析了康定发展经济面临的困难和机遇,阐述了复兴康定经济必须大力发展第三产业,从而把康定打造成为川西高原的中心城市,和历史上一样发挥其在川西高原的经济辐射作用。

Kangding had a very prosperous economy in the history for it was the first town along the ancient tea and horse caravan road, the largest trade market for the Hans and the Tibetans, and one of three big commercial ports during the period of the Republic of China. However, because of various rea- sons, Kangding has lagged behind other counties in terms of its economy. The paper, after recollecting Kangding＇s historical status in ancient tea and horse caravan road, appeals to boost its economy, namely, to vigorously revive its tertiary industry so that Kangding can be developed into a central city in Western Sichuan Plateau to prosper the economy of nearby cities and towns in Western Sichuan Plateau.
