摘　　要：近代以来,随着社会环境的重大转变,更夫职业呈现出濒危的生存状态。在经济收入低微,居住和穿衣条件十分简陋,工作环境极其危险,社会地位极端低下的种种因素下,更夫群体不堪重负,甚至许多人走向了死亡和犯罪道路。但作为历史阶段的产物,更夫不仅是民间的报时者、防火示警者、信息的传递者,而且是地方治安的维护者,承担缉捕盗贼之责,从某种意义上来说,更夫更是近代消防、警察及巡逻保安的雏形。In modern times,with the significant transformation of social environment,the watchman profession is in an endangered state of survival.Due to the low economic income,poor living and clothing conditions,extremely dangerous working environment,extremely low social status of various factors,unbearable burden,even to death and crime.However,as a product of the historical stage,the watchman is not only a folk timekeeper,a fire warning officer,and a messenger of information,but also a defender of local law and order,and bears the responsibility of arresting thieves.In a sense,the watchman is even the prototype of modern fire,police and patrol security.
