Econometric Analysis of China's Urban Spatial Structure in Feudal Society
基于定量地理方法，初步探索了中国封建社会的城市空间分布模式，发现城市呈聚集状态并向东南沿海分散，具有分形特征，且倾向于分布在河流附近、气候温和的平坦区域。
Taking China's city system in the feudal society as the research object, this paper did a preliminary exploratory analysis on its spatial distribution pattern based on some relevant quantitative geography. The results showed that: 1)China's urban spatial distribution in the entire study period was in a condensed state; 2) China's cities were in the trend of dispersing to the southeast coastal areas, and especially in the Song Dynasty, there basically formed two high level city hot zones in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Yangtze river; 3) China's urban spatial structure in the feudal society had obvious fractal characteristics. We found that China's urban spatial fractal was tending to constantly improve by constructing different fractal dimension function and the overall was in a decentralized trend while some regions had conspicuous agglomeration characteristics; 4)The cities in the feudal society tended to be located in flat regions near the rivers with moderate climate.
