淹城是春秋时期吴国城聚的遗址,本文依据现有考古资料,并结合文献材料对其空间形态作初步讨论,并进而探讨与其所处的地理环境之间的关系。认为该聚落形态的形成主要受河湖交错的地貌影响,同时主观的政治意识与军事斗争的现实又共同促成了淹城这一人文地理实体的生成。 Yan City is the ruins of Wu Guocheng in the Spring and Autumn Period. Based on the existing archeological data and the literature materials, this article makes a preliminary discussion of its spatial form and then discusses the relationship with the geographical environment in which it is located. It is believed that the formation of the settlements is mainly affected by the interlaced landforms of the rivers and lakes. At the same time, the subjective political awareness and the reality of the military struggle have all contributed to the formation of the human geography entity.
