在比较中日近代化进程的时候,我们知道城市状况上的差异与两国近代化的快慢情况有着很大的关联。前近代的中国社会由拥有人口众多、文化设施完备的少数大城市与绝大多数的乡村组成,而由超过两百个封建领国组成的江户时期的日本,城市与乡村的差异远没有中国那么巨大。两个文明在城市形态上的差异,在知识分子的精神气质与意识形态上表现出微妙的差异。 In comparing the modernization process in China and Japan, we know that the differences in the status of cities have a lot to do with the pace of modernization of the two countries. The pre-modern Chinese society consisted of a large number of metropolises with a large population and complete cultural facilities and the vast majority of rural areas. The differences between Japan, the cities and the villages during the Edo period, which consisted of more than 200 feudalist states, were far from those of China So huge The differences in urban morphology between the two civilizations show subtle differences in the intellectual temperament and ideology of the intellectuals.
