太原城市近代化过程中的市民生活水平研究

Study on the Living Standard of the Citizens in the Process of the Modernization of Taiyuan City

我国多数传统城市在近代较少受到西方冲击,更多保留了其自然发展的特点。本文以太原为我国传统城市的典型代表,考察其近代化过程中城市化、市场化、商业化以及城市建设发展,在此基础上分析了以在职人员为代表的太原市民的生活消费结构和贫富差距。民国太原近代化变迁卓有成效,并且对市民生活方式产生了一定影响。但这种影响由于发展工业的需要有所限制,并因资本的集聚使贫富差距扩大。

Most of the traditional cities in modern China were less affected by the west, and retained thecharacteristics of their natural development. Taking Taiyuan as a typical representative cities in China,this paper examined the urbanization,industrialization,commercialization and urbandevelopment in the process of modernization, and analyzed the living consumption structure and the gapbetween the rich and the poor in Taiyuan. It can be seen that the modernization of Taiyuan in the Republic of China had been fruitful and had a certain influence on the way of life of the citizens. But this effect was limited by the need for industrial development, and the gap between the rich and the poor was widened bythe accumulation of capital.
