明代筑城规模研究

STUDY ON THE SCALE OF CITY CONSTRUCTION IN THE MING DYNASTY

中国古代城墙是重要的历史文化遗产,城池规模是古代筑城形制的重要表现内容之一。通过对反映明代筑城规模的城池城周数据的全面梳理与量化分析,探寻明代城池规模的分布规律,发现:明代城池规模表现出明显的等级特征和地域特征。影响城池规模的因素,既有人为因素,包括等级、历史、政治、经济、人口等,又有客观因素,包括位置、地理环境等,但在诸多因素中,城市的等级仍是主导明代城池规模的最重要因素。

Chinese ancient city wall is an important historical cultural heritage and the city scale is one of the important contents of ancient city form. Through the comprehensive and quantitative analysis of the perimeters reflecting the scale of city construction in the Ming Dynasty, the paper explores the distribution law of city in the Ming Dynasty. It is found that the scale of city in Ming Dynasty shows obvious hierarchy features and geographical features. The factors influencing the scale of a city include both man-made factors including hierarchy, history, politics, economy, and population, and objective factors including location and geographical environment. However, in many factors, the hierarchy of a city is still the most important factor that dominates the scale of a city in the Ming Dynasty.
