  • Analysis of Character Convergence of Jiangnan Ancient Towns Lei Yunyao , Zhang Qiongfang
    International Forum on Management, Education and Information Technology Application (IFMEITA 2016) Analysis of Character Convergence of Jiangnan Ancient Towns Lei Yunyao1, a, Zhang Qiongfang 1,b 1 Wuchang Shouyi University, Wuhan 430064 China [email protected], b [email protected] Key Words：Jiangnan Ancient Towns; Character convergence; Analysis Abstract：This article illustrates the representation of character convergence of Jiangnan Ancient Towns. It analyzes the formation mechanism of character convergence to build the whole image of these ancient towns with Zhouzhuang as a prototype. Based on Tourism Geography Theory and Regional Linkage Theory, it puts forward the fact that the character convergence can be beneficial to building a whole tourism image and to enhancing people’s awareness of ancient heritage. But some problems caused by the convergence will also be presented, such as the identical tourism development model, the backward infrastructure and the destruction of original ecology. Introduction With Taihu Lake as the center, the region of Jiangnan, the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, is scattered all over by many historic ancient towns. These towns have a long history and deep cultural deposit. They are densely occupied and economically developed. They form a national transport network combined with inland waterway. These towns have witnessed a long-term economic prosperity in the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and are now generally called “Jiangnan Ancient Towns”. Since 1980s, under the wave of reform, opening up and modernization construction, experience-based tourism and leisure tourism of these towns have achieved great development. Under the influence of “China's First Water Town” Zhouzhuang, some other similar towns like Tongli, Luzhi, Xitang, Nanxun, Wuzhen all choose to follow suit.

  • The Rural Market in Late Imperial China
    Asian Social Science www.ccsenet.org/ass The Rural Market in Late Imperial China Fang Ren School of History, Wuhan University Wuhan 430072, Hubei, China Tel: 86-27-6876-3412 E-mail: [email protected] The research is financed by Chinese Education Department. No. 2007-07JJD720043; No. NCET-07-0639. Abstract The rural market was an important constituent of marketing system, and formed an un-vertical congruent relationship with urban market in late imperial China. There were different types of rural fair in the imperial China. Xu, Chang, Ji, Dian, Shi, Hui, all of them were the regular fairs. Their number was huge. They distributed widely, played a distinct role, and became the base of rural market development. During Tang and Song dynasties, county seat, town or village had some regular fairs. They were more and more developed during Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. In the late imperial China, the establishment or abolishment of rural regular fair must been approved by local magistrate, such as magistrate of a county. Equally important, the clan and Gentleman played the crucial role in rural market. On the whole, the network of rural fairs began to take shape in the most regions from Qianlong to Daoguang reigning years of the Qing Dynasty. The professional markets in rural society included two kinds: professional town and professional fair. The emergence of professional markets in rural society was the inevitable result of enlargement of cash crops planting and development of social division of labor, and helped in the shaping of specialized region which centered on cash farming.

  • Urban Heritage Conservation of China's Historic Water Towns And
    heritage Article Urban Heritage Conservation of China’s Historic Water Towns and the Role of Professor Ruan Yisan: Nanxun, Tongli, and Wuzhen Heleni Porfyriou Department of Social Sciences and Humanities, Cultural Heritage, CNR - National Research Council of Italy, 00186 Rome, Italy; [email protected] Received: 23 June 2019; Accepted: 10 August 2019; Published: 13 August 2019 Abstract: Between the 13th and the 19th century, hundreds of water towns flourished in China along the Grand Canal and to the south of the Yangtze river, the latter being the focus of this paper. Despite their long history, water towns still lack a comprehensive account of their urban history and development, yet they have become world famous as tourist destinations. Initially branded under titles such as the “Venice of the East” or the “Venice of China”, they are visited nowadays, for their own sake and not as surrogates of Venice, by millions of Chinese tourists. Focusing on the urban form and heritage of the three historic water towns of Nanxun, Tongli and Wuzhen, and on their conservation planning as promoted by Professor Ruan Yisan since the mid-1980s, the aim of this paper is twofold. On one hand, the aim is to identify and examine, through personal observation and secondary sources, the urban patterns and morphology of these places; on the other hand, to explore through his publications the impact of Professor Ruan Yisan—a (if not the) key figure—in their conservation and tourist development. The paper’s broader aim is to contribute to a more systematic analytical approach towards the urban form of Chinese historic water towns as a basis for further research and heritage conservation planning.

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these towns produced an increasing number of gazetteers and literary anthologies intended both for town residents and for future gazetteers at the county level and above. This article examines the various purposes behind the compilation of this town literature and argues that the presence of market town sources led to a greater representation of town figures in county gazetteers. Moreover, through their literary endeavors, town elites were better able to compete with the elites of higher urban centers for limited slots in county gazetteers and for cultural prestige. Keywords: market town, town gazetteer, town anthology, historical memory, public genealogy, county gazetteer, late-Qing and early-Republican Jiangnan Introduction From the Song dynasty (960-1127) on, the Chinese rural landscape saw the emergence of market towns, mid- or small-size cities formed through commerce, industry, and transportation (Kawakatsu 1999, 18-19). Compared with administrative centers, such as county or prefectural seats, these towns generally enjoyed a smaller government presence and leadership was often in the hands of local people and organizations (Faure 2002, 75-79).
