论冀南三个中心城市的兴衰

On the Rise and Decline of the Three Central Cities in Southern Hebei Province

邯郸、邺城与大名在长达千余年的时间里依次充当了冀南地区乃至整个河北地区中心城市的角色。三者都曾凭借自身特有的地缘优势和特殊的时代机遇而走向历史的前台,又都不可避免地随着社会与生态的变化而走向没落。三者的先后强盛与彼此之间的竞争,是由政治经济格局变动、区域状况、文化异同、环境变迁等多种因素所造成的,特殊的地缘位置为三城相继兴起提供了舞台,中央政府的以城制城战略使得三城此兴彼衰,水运条件的变化也在三城兴衰过程中扮演了重要的角色。

Handan,Yecheng and Daming successively acted as the central city of southern Hebei and even the whole Hebei region for more than a thousand years.They came to the foreground of history by virtue of their unique geographical advantages and special opportunities of the times,and inevitably declined with the changes of society and ecology.Their prosperity and competition were caused by the changes of political and economic patterns,regional conditions,cultural similarities and differences,environmental changes and other factors.The special geographical location provided a stage for their successive rise.The central government's strategy of curbing a city with another made those cities rise and decline,and the change of water transport conditions also played an important role in their rise and decline.
