都市化与农民的终结——广州南景村经济变迁研究

Urbanization and “Termination of Traditional Peasants” Investigation Report on Economic Change in Nanching Village of Canton

在田野调查和文献资料的基础上 ,文章追踪研究了南景这个因杨庆先生的著作而在海外中国研究中颇具影响的学术名村 ,描述了它五十年后经济生活的基本形貌。从城郊聚落到都市村庄的南景 ,失去了昔日固守的田园 ,土地和房屋的出租成了村社、宗族和家庭经济的生存之本。其变迁轨迹不仅是珠江三角洲地区乡村都市化的代表 ,也承载了传统农民终结的历程。

Based on fieldwork and literature, this thesis is a trace study on the Village of Nanching (literally, the Scene of South), a village that was made academically well known to overseas researchers on China by C. K. Yang's monograph. After half a century, Nanching, which used to be a typical suburban village, has now been turned into a village within the boundary of a metropolis, representing a special case of what may be termed metropolitan village. During the course of this, the village has lost its fields, and depended on rental of houses. Although it does not cover all the types of rural societies, the case of Nanching is basically representative of the process of urbanization of the Pearl River Delta region, by the same token, may well serve as a model of the termination of traditional peasants.
