清末民初县治与圩市的融合——上林土县的城市变迁研究

Integration of County Government and Country Fair in the Late Qing Dynasty and Early Republic of China——A Study of City Transformation in Shanglin Tu County

在中国古代赋役经济背景下,士绅与商人间联系较少,县治与圩市也存在着功能差异,因此县治与圩市常常是分建的。清末民初,随着市场经济的发展,县治与圩市两者的功能开始重叠,士绅与商人间的联系也变得紧密,县治和圩市渐渐融合。县治与圩市的融合,是赋役经济向市场经济过渡的一个重要表征。

Under the background of taxes and corvee economy in ancient China,there was less communication between gentries and merchants,and the function of county government was different from that of country fair.As a result,the county government was usually separated from the country fair.In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China,with the development of market economy,the function of county government overlapped that of the country fair,so there was more communication between gentries and merchants and the county government and the country fair went together,which was an important index representing a change from taxes and corvee economy to market economy.
