近代市场连接转型与丹江商路的新陈代谢

Market Linking and Transformation and the Evolution of Danjiang Commercial Route in Modern Times

丹江商路是明清时期沟通西北与中南两大区域最重要的市场连接。该商路体现了农业社会地域之间分工互补的经济需要,也在路线走向和控制运输成本方面契合市场最优原则。依靠自然力的水运、畜力以及人力运输是该时期实现跨区域市场连接的基本模式。到近代之后,工业化成为社会发展的方向,依靠机械动力的轮船、铁路、公路运输是实现跨区域市场连接的更高效模式。在市场连接模式的迭代演变中,丹江商路呈出现下沉趋势的同时,也出现了一定程度的新陈代谢。

Danjiang Commercial Route was the most important market link in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,joining Northwest and Central South China.It shows the economic necessity of labor division complementation between agricultural social sectors as well as the optimal principle matching route direction and transport cost control.Back to the old days,water courses,draft animals and manpower were the major forces across regional markets.In modern times industrialization has taken the lead of social development,and steamships,railroads and highways have been combined for efficient interregional market linking.It is argued that Danjiang Commercial Route has displayed some features of decline and emergent traits as well under such circumstances.
