近代外国人视角中的三峡纤夫

Three Gorges Boat Trackers from the Perspective of Modern Foreigners

近代以来川江航运繁荣,纤夫群体逐渐壮大。许多外国人入蜀游览并写下大量游记,对一路上所见到的纤夫花费了大量笔墨加以记录。借助这些游记可对近代三峡纤夫的种类、用量进行深入研究。纤夫拉纤时的工具、号令鼓声以及川江号子在游记中亦有丰富的反映。

Since modern times,river shipping in Sichuan area(Chongqing was included before 1997)has been extremely prosperous,which brought a continuous increase of boat trackers.Many foreigners visited Sichuan and wrote a lot of travelogues in which they paid much attention to the boat trackers they saw along the way.With the help of these travelogues,we can make a more in-depth study on different groups and amount of boat trackers in the modern Three Gorges area.Rich records of the tools,order by drums and Chuanjiang haozi used in ship tracking are also founded in these travelogues.
