EVOLUTION OF SEA SALT SETTLEMENT SYSTEM UNDER THE ACTION OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL:A CASE STUDY OF LIANGHUAI SALT REGION IN THE MING AND QING DYNASTIES
This paper summarizes the changes in the function of each level of government control in the sea salt production area during the transformation process from "branch-saltworks-group" to "branch-salt farm-stove" in the Ming and Qing dynasties,and the settlement development systems corresponding to the government control systems of "branch-saltworks governance-group" and "branch-saltworks governance-town-production".From the perspective of time,the paper analyzes the vertical and horizontal development of the overall structure of the sea salt settlement system and summarizes the evolution law of the distribution of the settlement pattern based on the shift of the government control focus,as well as the changes of economic,natural,cultural,and other factors.Then it summarizes the evolution law of the hierarchical spatial form of the sea salt settlement system based on changes in the function of each level of government control,as well as the quantitative analysis of the spatial components of the sea salt settlement system in the Ming and Qing dynasties.This paper aims at exploring the origin and development process of the modern coastal settlement system in eastern China,laying a foundation for the subsequent comprehensive construction of the ancient sea salt handicraft settlement system.
