本文根据苏州档案馆所藏的档案史料,从历史人文地理的角度,对清末民初苏州典当业的分布,作了较具体而微的探究。研究显示:清末民初苏州的典当业主要集中于北部和西南部中心城区以及阊门一带。从典当业的选址和经营状况来看,典当适合在中心城区和商业文化繁荣的城厢附郭以及周边市镇生存和发展。典当业分布的地理区位,与苏州城市经济及其功能分区息息相关,这反映了传统典当业依附于商业经济发展的“寄生性”。
Based on the historical records of archives in Suzhou Archives, this article makes a more detailed and brief exploration of the distribution of pawnshops in Suzhou since the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China from the perspective of historical human geography. The research shows that pawn owners in Suzhou at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China were mainly concentrated in the central urban areas of the north and southwest and the area of Gongmen. From the pawn industry’s location and operating conditions, the pawn is suitable for the central city and business culture and prosperity of Chengxiang attached to the surrounding towns and the survival and development. The geographical distribution of pawn industry is closely related to the urban economy and its functional zoning in Suzhou, which reflects the “parasitic nature” of the traditional pawn industry dependent on the commercial economic development.
