摘要
1883年英国商人立德乐通过实勘实测的方法记录了其在长江中上游流域乘坐民船的航行情况,并留下数万字的旅行记录——《长江三峡及重庆游记》,生动再现了晚清我国长江中上游流域传统民船的运输状况。通过对行记的考察可以厘清我国民船的运输情形,自从清代前期长江流域全面贯通以来,逐渐积累了成熟的造船技术、完善的民船运营结构、丰富的行船经验等,都促进了长江民船运输专业化,高效率水运系统的形成。与近代轮船运输相比,传统民船在运输价格、航行范围、运营的灵活性上都具有优势,即使在晚清长江中上游开通轮船运输后,民船运输仍在持续发展。
In 1883,a British merchant named Archibald John Little recorded his voyage in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River by means of field survey and measurement,and left a travel record of tens of thousands of words--Through the Yangtse Gorges Trade and Travel in Western China,which vividly reproduced the transportation situation of the traditional civil ships in the late Qing Dynasty.Through the investigation of travel notes,the transportation status of civil ships in China can be clarified.Since the Yangtze River Basin was fully opened in the early Qing Dynasty,it has gradually accumulated mature shipbuilding technology,perfect civil ship operation structure and rich shipping experience,which constitute a specialized and efficient water transportation system of the Yangtze River.Compared with modern ship transportation,traditional civil ships have advantages in terms of transportation price,navigation range and operational flexibility.Even after the ship transportation was opened in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River in the late Qing Dynasty,the civil ship transportation continued to develop.
