宋都开封城内的东部与西部

宋都开封分为数厢,每厢各有特点。位于内城东部的二厢,作为商业中心首先繁荣起来,而西部尤其是面向西华门一厢的编户人口极少,主要是因为此处驻扎有许多禁军军营。由于在开封城内东部商业建筑物居多,而西部的禁军军营所占面积比例最大,故造成开封城内东部和西部城市景观上的巨大差异。

Eastern and Western Parts of Kaifeng City Proper, the Capital of Song Dynasty

Kaifeng, the capital of Song Dynasty, was divided into several compartments, each with its own characteristics. The two eastern compartments of the city proper flourished as a commercial center while the western compartments, the compartment facing Gate Xihua in particular, were thinly populated, due to the residence of many imperial barracks. This paper holds that the buildings in the eastern compartments were mainly related to businesses while those in the west were mostly barracks,hence the difference between the eastern and the western compartments.
