再论历史地理研究中的“区域”问题

地区多样性包括景观的多样性以及历史发展道路、模式的多样性。地理环境、政区、经济类型、移民、城市发展以及地方特权、方言、风俗是影响多样性区域之生成、演变的重要因素。地区多样性与中国历史发展的总体构架和走向有着密切的关系。建立连续的区域历史地理剖面是区域历史地理研究的重要思路。对区域历史地理剖面的考察可以从人口分布及其变动、土地利用方式、居住方式以及方言、风俗等几方面展开。

Review on the Region of Historical Geography

The diversity of regions includes the diversity of landscape and the diverse ways of historical development. There are many significant factors, such as geographical environment, political region, eco- nomic types, immigrant, the development of cities, local privilege, dialect, social customs, which influ- ence the producing and development of the diversity of regions. The diversity of regions has a close rela- tionship with the total structure and trend of Chinese history. The main mode of thinking on the study of regional historical geography is erecting the continuous geographical cross section. The research on the re- gional historical geographical cross section can be carried out from the aspects: the distribution and chang- ing of population, way of land use, way of residential form, dialect, social customs, and so on.
