晚清重庆城的恤老救济事业考察

Research on the Old-age Cause of ChongqingCity in the late Qing Dynasty

以长江上游通商口岸重庆城的养济院为例,拟从收养的程序、人群范围、资金来源及具体管理等方面的问题,窥探这一救济组织在清末的具体运转。区别于既有研究,侧重从社会治理的视角考察在大变局的时代背景下,地方政府企图借助各种救济组织实现强化社会秩序的目标,即这一时期的“慈善”活动体现出政治化的明显特征。

Taking the almshouse in Chongqing,a commercial port city on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River,as an example,the plan is to probe into the specific operation of this relief organization in the late Qing Dynasty from the aspects of adoption procedures,crowd scope,funding sources,and specific management.Different from the existing research,it focuses on the perspective of social governance.Under the background of the era of great changes,local governments attempt to use various relief organizations to achieve the goal of strengthening social order,that is,the charity activities of this period reflect the characteristics of politicization.
