镇江漕运文化的历史考察

A historical survey of the canal transport culture in Zhenjiang

镇江地处江河交汇之地,为南北水路要冲。作为江南运河的起点,镇江漕运兴起较早。经过历代递嬗,镇江逐步形成了“因漕而兴”的城市生态,以及与其他文化元素多元共生的漕运文化系统,如交通文化、渡口文化、商贾文化、救生文化、宗教文化、移民文化、文人文化、民俗文化等。

Zhenjiang is located at the confluence of rivers and is a key hub for north-south waterways.As the starting point of the Jiangnan Canal,Zhenjiang rose very early in canal transport.Through generations of evolution,Zhenjiang has gradually formed an urban ecology that thrives due to canal transport and a diverse cultural system of canal transport that coexists with other cultural elements,such as transport culture,ferry culture,merchant culture,lifesaving culture,religious culture,immigrant culture,literati culture,folk culture,etc..
