The Ming And Qing Period Straight Yu Jin Lu Border Areas Of Geographical Interaction Between Research,

As the interlocking boundaries, border areas gathered all sorts of "problem", which makes it to be a important content of academic discussion focused on the north of farming-pastoral region and some border areas in the southern provinces. Most researchers treat these border regions to be a whole or a "region", researched the environmental change, immigration development, robbers, salt region change in this region etc, but lack of paying attention to the interaction and internal communication in these border areas. This paper argues that each senior administrative zone is a independent political function region, because of the different of their ownership, natural and social resources, it will produce some contact, and form many interactive behavior in internal parties in the border area, called "regional interaction" in the border area.This article will give a specific investigation of regional interactive manner in the border area by selecting Zhi Yu Jin Lu(直豫晋鲁)border area from Ming and Qing dynasty to the republic of china. This area adjacent to the political center of China in these period, where produced much "problems" which reflect the various interactive behavior in the border area. This paper also will discuss several cases to analyze the regional interaction in border area, such as the formation and administrative adjustment, robbers, water conservancy development, disasters adjustment, traffic facilities management and the diffusion of beliefs etc.This paper validated and summarizes the interacting mechanism of the border area by anglicizing these cases "deeply". The regional interaction includes space interaction and social interaction. Space interaction originated two kinds of spatial relations——horizontal relationship and vertical relationship, so the space interaction divided into horizontal interaction and vertical interaction. Horizontal interaction refers to the interaction between places——such as the villages, counties, provinces, upstream and downstream of a river with different administrative ownership which has scale variations. Vertical interaction is the interaction between the local county or state and the entity power higher than it (such as Army/Military organization, country, etc). Space interaction is finished by the transportation, water system and various flows (abortion, logistics, information, etc) in border area. Through the "concrete" social interaction "abstract" space interaction must to be achieved. Because of the space scale of the interaction between different administrative in the border area, the cooperative interaction and conflict type interaction in social interaction to be the main characterization. It summed up that the social interaction including cooperation, assistance, coordination, competition and conflict in border area, etc.Because of the different in natural environment and ownership creating space interaction in border area, which forming social interaction by "polymerizing" the crowd and society, this eventually forming regional interaction in the border area. Regional interactive made variation, marginal and political sensitivity in the border area, so that people pay more attention to the border area in traditional period. Meanwhile, through the analysis of the relations between interactive behavior and "bound" in the border area, this paper argues that the new regional geography and recent historians consider the point of view that "regional", "bound" is fluctuant, fuzzy is not absolute. Boundaries which restrain people's behavior between border parties is fixed, which led to the emergence of regional interaction between the parties of border area, and regional interaction proves the immobility of the boundary again. We must pay attention to the live crowd and their activities inside or outside the area and bound, and the "facts" of these activities which disturbance region and bound, but should not tangle with changing or not of region and bound.
