摘　　要：“大一统”体制的赓续不辍是中国政治的显著特征。既往研究强调大运河作为政治工具是实现“大一统”意识形态的重要条件,却缺乏对大运河媒介属性的关注,未能挖掘大运河作为中介勾连国家与社会以及社会内部不同主体的联结作用。本文将大运河的修建与使用视作一种“媒介行为”,重新理解其在“大一统”体制赓续中扮演的角色。大运河凭借“可见”的物质性和富有政治意涵的象征性被统治集团选定为“传递装置”,在以“天下”为核心的思想观念传递过程中,逐渐形塑了民众的政治认同和国家认同。随着大运河对民众日常生活嵌入程度的加深,它通过邀约一系列异质性关系逐渐生成经济一统,拥有了超越时空的媒介力量,并作为“超验的存在”形塑了“现代的我们”。The persistence of the“grand unification”system is a distinctive feature of Chinese politics.Previous studies believed that the Grand Canal as a political tool is an important condi⁃tion for realizing the ideology of“grand unification”,but they have lacked attention to the media properties of the Grand Canal and failed to explore the role of the Grand Canal as an intermediary in linking the country and society and connecting different subjects within society.Through the perspective of media studies,this article regards the construction and use of the Grand Canal as a“media behavior”and re⁃understands its role in the development process of the“grand unifica⁃tion”system.The Grand Canal was selected as a“delivery device”by the ruling group due to its material attributes of“visibility”and symbolism with rich political implications.In the process of transmitting ideas with the“view of the world”as the core,it gradually shaped the social people.national identity and political identity.As the Grand Canal becomes more embedded in people’s daily lives,it gradually generates“economic unity”by inviting a series of heterogeneous relationships,possesses media power that transcends time and space,and serves as a“transcendent exist⁃ence”to shape“modern times of us”.
