A Study On Urban Geography Of The Central Plains In Northern Song Dynasty

Today, one of the main direction in historical geography of the city, is beginning to turn to regional city system research for the core of the ancient capital from the previous single city study, to clarify the process that urban pattern formate in historical region, analysis the respective functions about the regional central cities and the general cities, reveal the process of the urban system in historical region.This article bases on Mr. Hou Renzhi's theory in "the city's historical geography studies and urban planning, "in this book he summarizes the research should involve five key areas: (1) the city's origins and evolution; (2) urban functions formation and evolution ; (3) the formation and characteristics of urban landscape; (4) transfer of city location and its laws; (5) geographical background about the rise and fall of urban development. By searching, a lot of r materials about the Northern Song capital of Kaifeng, Central China as the center of the historical urban system, trying to reveal the Northern Song Dynasty, the city's development and changes in the Central Plains state, including the rise and development of cities, urban spatial form, urban function, the regional transport network, regional industry And so on. Central China city group to place the building today for reference.The rise of cities, including human geography and physical geography are two basic aspects. Natural factors which provide a variety of geographical conditions, a comprehensive reflection of the Central Plains region dense rivers, lakes and numerous activities for human development provides an excellent natural environment, the rise and development of the city to provide favorable conditions.Economic development in the city, since the Sui and Tang Grand Canal after the regional exchange of Kaifeng, China has gradually become the corridor, water and land transportation developed for the city of Kaifeng, a superior development of regional conditions, and make it a national transportation hub for the Northern Song Dynasty Laid the material foundation capital in Kaifeng, central China has effectively led the development of the city. Factors, including human geography includes both social and cultural, the city's open, and accelerate the development of cultural transmission and the Song Dynasty. Song by studying the development of urban system in the Central Plains, Central Plains today, the city aims to provide useful clusters of historical reference.Specifically, the article is divided into four chapters, covering the following main issues: first set out the basis for this topic, significance, status, contents and methods. Central China city of the Northern Song Dynasty system of more than a blank, and therefore the direction of this research is concentrated in the heart of the Northern Song Dynasty Kaifeng Cities in Central China, but also hope that my research on the construction of today's home the power of dedication to cotton. Second, the urban system in the Central Plains today to clear the development goal, we must analyze the historical period of the city layout, urban development and the corresponding functions, combined with natural conditions and transport infrastructure, etc., to the reasons for its rise and decline of the city. Then, on the historical development of urban system to explore, you can not completely copy the current science standards, only that the administrative establishment of the city's historical period, economic development, urban space, and urban management, based on the area so the city as a A whole to study the development of regional urban system laws of history, the Central Plains during the Northern Song understand the characteristics of urban system, and summed up the reasons for its rise and fall. Finally, on the basis of these studies, I think that today the construction of the Central Plains long way to go City Group, as China's main grain producing areas of Henan, how to deal with the agricultural use of urban space to expand the relationship, is to ensure national food security strategy The key. Second, the heart of Central China city group as Zheng, Kaifeng, Luoyang three places, are in the city along the Yellow River, with the state-level development zones, a large number of urban water and urban sewage problems arising, directly affect the downstream Yudong, Southwest grain producing areas of ecological environment. How to ensure national food security strategy and the Yellow River basin water environment safety, the Central Plains city group historic mission.
