“大上海”与“小南浔”:近代南浔绅商结社与区域互动

“Big Shanghai” and “Small Nanxun”: the Modern Nanxun Gentry-Merchants Associations and Regional Interactions

19世纪60年代至20世纪30年代,南浔绅商群体立足厚实的经济动能,在“小南浔”本土和“大上海”客地之间构建起了“小同乡”团体与“大同乡”组织共存交织、功能互补的社会关系网络。以湖社、南浔公会为代表的新式同乡组织借助联结旅外同乡的人脉关系网络、联结城乡与官民的联动机制、联结客地与本土的互动机制,构建起了“大上海”与“小南浔”的联通渠道和互动网络,在旅外同乡教育、亢旱救济、战时维持等历史事件中起着至为关键的作用,揭示了近代社会转型中绅商精英团体及其乡村社会控制网络的存在与延续。

From the1860s to the 1930s,Nanxun gentry-merchants,based on their strong economic momentum,constructed a social relationship network in which the“little townsfolk”groups and“big townsfolk”groups coexisted and complemented each other between“Small Nanxun”,the local area,and“Big Shanghai”,the guest area.Represented by the new-style townsfolk organization of Huzhou associations and Nanxun associations,the communication channels and interactive networks between“Big Shanghai”and“Small Nanxun”have been built up by means of the network to contact the fellow countrymen abroad,the linkage mechanism between urban and rural areas with the government and people,and the interactive mechanism connecting the outside area and the local area.As a result,a key role has been played in the history of educating fellow-townsmen abroad,relieving the drought and maintaining social order during wartime.It also reveals the existence and continuation of the elite group of gentry-merchants and their social control network in rural areas in the transformation process of modern society.
