The spatiotemporal network of spread and the regional differentiation of death of the Great Pestis in Northeast China 1910-1911
The Great Pestis in Northeast China from 1910 to 1911 was a great event in modem Chinese history.From the perspective of historical medical geography,historical metrological analysis,social network analysis,geographical spatial analysis and other methods are used in this paper to study the spread network and death differentiation of the Great Pestis in Northeast China.It is found that:(1)The Great Pestis in Northeast China originated in Manchuria and spread to 130 counties in provinces of Liaoning,Jilin and Heilongjiang as well as Zhili and Shandong.Harbin,Shenyang,Changchun,Dalian,Beijing,Baoding,Yantai and Jinan are the main nodes of the pestis spread network.(2)The epidemic period of pestis in Northeast China lasted 197 days from October 25,1910 to April 29,1911.It can be divided into three stages:The embryonic stage,the expansion stage and the decline stage,pestis was most prevalent around the Spring Festival.(3)The Great Pestis in Northeast China mainly spread along the railway and sea trunk lines,mainly by jumping across points,supplemented by neighboring infection.(4)More than 60,000 people died of the pestis in Northeast China,but the spatial difference of death is significant.The areas along the Harbin-Changchun-Shenyang railway were the hardest hit areas of pestis deaths.(5)The spread and death of the pestis in Northeast China were restricted by the factors of both nature and humanity.The cold climate environment,the population flow at the end of the year,the fast railway traffic,and the weak awareness of epidemic prevention were all important factors.The Great Pestis in Northeast China stimulated the progress of public health awareness and epidemic prevention and control mechanism.The results of this study have important reference value for the study of the world historical pestis pandemic and the impact of modern transportation on the spread of the epidemic.
