传承与融合:唐代城市居民物质生活变迁

Inheritance and Fusion: Change of Material Life of the City Residents in Tang Dynasty

唐代是中国历史上承前启后的重要时段,政治、经济、文化、外交等领域的繁盛为城市发展提供了难得机遇。各地都市无论是作为政治、文化中心,还是以经济勃兴而见长,均体现出商旅不绝、商贸与文化交流频繁等特点。其居民包括皇室、外戚、官僚和一般市民以及胡商、外国使节、留学生、僧侣等人群,由此而使居民饮食、服饰、住宅、出行多元多彩,物质生活呈现宫廷、贵族、士人、异国等多重面貌。都市居民对生活的热情、人文的重视、海纳百川的包容之心是这一时期物质生活丰富多元的源泉,充分彰显出都市民众物质生活的等级性、时代性、艺术性特色。

Tang Dynasty is an important transitional period in Chinese history, whose prosperity in politics, economy, cu l-ture, diplomacy, and other fields provides rare opportunities for city development. Every city, whether being political, cultural center or economic center, has the characteristics of a constant stream of traveling merchants, and frequent exchange of business and culture. Its residents include the royal family, the relatives of imperial consorts, bureaucrats, ordinary citizens, and Hu bus-inessmen （non - Han nationalities living in the north and west in ancient times） , foreign envoys, overseas students and monks. Therefore, residents’ diet, clothing, house and travel become diversified and colorful. Urban residents’enthusiasm for life, em-phasis on humanities and tolerance are the source of material life in this period.
