唐至元初上海地区人口数量的估算

A Preliminary Estimation of Shanghai's Population from Tang down to Yuan

唐至元初,上海地区先后有华亭县(松江府)、嘉定县、崇明州和上海县四个县级以上的行政区划。隋代,上海地区约有2万人左右,至唐末约有10万人。北宋真宗时期,上海地区的人口约近20万。宋朝定都杭州之后,迁入上海地区的人口增多,大概在绍熙至嘉定年间,人口约在50至80万之间。南宋末期,上海地区人口最高曾达到150万至160万。元朝建立,上海地区户口一度呈下降趋势,不过很快企稳回升,到至元二十七年,上海地区的总人口达130万左右。

From Tang down to the early Yuan,Shanghai was comprised of Huating(Songjiang),Jiading,Chongming and Shanghai(County).In Sui,Shanghai had 20,000 or so residents;in the late Tang,approximately 100,000;then in the reign of Northern Song’s Emperor Zhen,roughly 200,000.The Southern Song moved the capital to Hangzhou.Consequently,more Han people moved southward into Shanghai.In the reigns of Shaoxi and Jiading,there were 500,000 or 800,000 people living in Shanghai.Shanghai’s population in the twilight years of the Southern Song increased to 1,500,000 or 1,600,000.In the wake of the founding of Yuan dynasty depopulation did take place in Shanghai.But very soon the population in Shanghai bounced back.On the beginning year of the last decade of the thirteen century,the number of Shanghai residents was 1,300,000 or so.
