摘　　要：明代以来苏州阊门一直被视为苏州繁华的象征,与其同时伴生的是"士女游观"的聚集。与此相比,玄妙观所处的城东地区长期显得冷寂,游人不兴。然而清代乾隆以后在城乡社会经济结构进一步转型的大背景下,苏州东城区工商业快速发展,玄妙观也迎来了"士女游观"盛况,其规模甚至超过阊门。本文系统梳理"士女游观"在阊门与玄妙观之间的地域转移,试图以此揭示清代苏州城市商业格局的变迁轨迹。Changmen,was the symbol of Suzhou's prosperity.Historically the Gate was a magnet attracting a huge number of local residents.By contrast,Xuanmiao guan,was much less attractive on the grounds that it was situated in the far eastern part of the city.The situation changed in the post-Qianlong period,wherein the socio-economic structure of the urban and rural societies underwent a deep transformation.In these conditions,the eastern Suzhou grew economically prosperous by degrees.Xuanmiao guan was thus an attractive site interesting Suzhouers.The Temple was even more magnificent than the Gate.The present paper examines the geographical changes brought to Suzhou's commercial hub,hoping that in doing so it can shed revealing light on the transition of the city's business structure.
