| Research Abstract |
Recently, historical study of Chinese city is flourishing. In China, because of "Four Modernizations", there founded in 1983 was Chinese Academy of Ancient Capital. Several other studies have also been published in the field of natural sciences such as civil-engineering, archistecture and geography.
In addition to this, in the study of Chinese city whose central object used to be the ancient capitals, some problems of other provincial cities are now being discussed, enabling the study to be done from both sides, capital and provincial.
And now, based on some recent excavated cultural articles, it has been becoming practically possible to discuss the cities of pre-Tangdynasty, which have comparatively few historical data.
Under these circumstances, our research organization made a research and analysis of the cities from pre-Chin to modern China. As a conclusion, we made sure that, before Tangdynasty, chief charactaristic of Chinese city was political and military one, and that the commercial charactaristic of Chinese city had its beginning in Sung dynasty.
