明清时期铁门关的兴衰及其历史影响

The Rise and Fall of Tiemen Pass during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and its Historical

明清时期位于利津城东北方向35公里的铁门关是驰名省内外的水旱码头和盐运要地。由于大清河内接运河外连渤海的优越地理位置,加之受灾荒清政府宽利津关禁、限转运粮等因素影响,铁门关货物云集、商人辐辏,十分繁荣。铁门关在粮食运输、产盐行销以及利津商业发展中发挥了重要的作用。但随着黄河改道夺大清河从利津入海,致使盐场废弃,河道淤积,铁门关最终消失在历史的长河之中。

Lijin is one of the central cities in the Yellow River Delta,which thrives on the river and the sea.During the Ming and Qing dynasties,Tiemen Pass,located 35 kilometers northeast of Lijin City,was a well-known water and drought wharf and salt transportation important place inside and outside the province.Due to the superior geographical location of the Daqing River connecting the canal to the Bohai Sea,coupled with the impact of factors such as the disaster and desolation,the Qing government's relaxation of the Lijin Pass and the restrictions on transferring grain,the Tiemen Pass was crowded with goods and merchants,and it was very prosperous.Tiemen Pass played an important role in grain transportation,salt production and marketing,and the commercial development of Lijin.However,as the Yellow River was diverted to seize the Daqing River from Lijin to the sea,the salt works were abandoned,the river silted,and the Tiemen Pass finally disappeared into the long river of history.
