The Study On The Bridge Investment Of FuJian From The 10th Century To The 15th Century

In the field of history,the transportation of the chinese ancient time have been researched quite a lot,however,regarding of the bridge,the research are few.In FuJian,scholars primarily study the bridge which place the coast port areas,but it is a little that take the all bridge of FuJian into a system and analyse them,not to mention that it is investigated in a long time.On the present situation of research,this paper studies the time,the subject,the type and the layout of the bridge investment of FuJian during 10-15 century by the statistics and charts,then concludes that:Before the Song Dynasty,a lot of northern people immigrated into FuJian because of the central plains wars.That increased the labor force massively,and caused the economic development of FuJian. And because of the enlightened overseas policy in the Song Dynasty,the economy had been developing in the coast port area quickly.Therefore,in this period,the bridge investment of FuJian started to reach the first peak,and most of the bridge were built newly.In the north and the southeast coast area of FuJian,as the economic development degree was high,people affected by the Fukuda and Karma of Buddhism,the subject of investment became divese.It contained the government,the folk strength which started to accumulate wealth with the economic development,the monk who believed the Buddhism deeply and had the strong economic strength,all of them participated actively in the local bridge investment,expecially in FuZhou,QuanZhou area,the investment proportion in monks was more obvious.However,by the influence of geographical environment in FuJian,and as the development of ZhangZhou which is in the south,TingZhou which is in the southwest and FuNingZhou which is in the northeast were rather late,so the bridge investment were rather few,and the investor were government primarily,that was so unitary.However,FuJian,especially FuZhou,QuanZhou,became the anti-Yuan base area in the NanSong Dynasty,by the influence of wars,the bridge investment was at a low tide in the Yuan Dynasty.Therefore,the bridge were not built a lot until the ZhiZheng period.Due to socio-economic recovery in this time,then the entire bridge investment began to develop.To the Hong-Cheng period in Ming Dynasty,because of the stable environment and the larger population which had been increasing FuJian economy obtained the further development,and its bridge investment also reached the second peak.Comparing the Song Dynasty,the bridge investment became more in these areas:TingZhou,ZhangZhou,FuNingZhou and ShaoWuFu which is in the northwest.And for the special military status of ShaoWuFu,its bridges were built on a larger scale.In this time,due to accumulation of long-term economic development in FuJian,increasing private wealth and the rich class began to rise,the multiple investment started to increase obviously.But in the meantime,the bridge investment in the coast port area were greatly reduced because of the restriction on the overseas trade and inter-state policies.However,the feature of the layout is that the order of the bridge investment is from north to south and from east to west in the whole.In addition,as the feature of bridge which can use a certain period,the type of bridge investment began to rebuild or repair primarily.Futhermore,by the statistics and analysis,this paper also concludes that:the bridge investment is not only limited to the social development,but also has the positive influence to the regional exchang and economic development through shortening distance and saving transaction cost.
