Post Stations and Traffic Roads in the North of Yangzhou City in Tang and Song Dynasties and Related Issues
This article attempts to restore the main land traffic roads in the northern part of Yangzhou City during the Tang and Song Dynasties based on the location of the posts and delivery shops in the relevant literature,combined with archaeological data.Comparing the traffic conditions of the two periods,it is believed that in the Song Dynasty,the traffic starting point and center moved south as compared with the Tang Dynasty,and some roads were abandoned or formed.The reason lies in the changes in the location of the city and its spatial structure during the Tang and Song Dynasties.During the Song Dynasty,the outside of Yangzhou,especially the east of the city,became one of the central areas.The main traffic roads outside Yangzhou and Shugang were important areas that needed to be contended and controlled during the historical period.Archaeological studies show that these roads also had a certain influence on the distribution of tombs in the Tang and Song Dynasties and the formation and development of the suburb of the Song Dynasty.Although water transportation was extremely developed in the Tang and Song dynasties,the role of land transportation still cannot be overlooked in Yangzhou.
