摘要:

1874年人力车传入上海后, 一度实现了对轿子等旧式交通工具的超越, 推动了城市公共交通的发展。虽然人力车的种种优势使其在机械化公共交通工具被引入之后仍然在上海的公共交通中扮演重要角色, 但是, 作为一种依靠人力拉动的交通工具, 人力车的废除又是历史的必然。然而, 在近代上海独特的社会背景之下, 人力车的被取代终将是一个艰难曲折的过程。

Abstract:

The rickshaw, which was introduced into Shanghai in 1874, in a degree, went beyond those old fashioned conveyances such as a sedan chair and the like, owing to its mechanic structure with cheap, quick, convenient and laborsaving features, thus improving the urban public traffic greatly. Though its special advantages made it still play a part in Shanghai's public traffic even after the introduction of automotive motorized vehicles, its abolishment was a necessity of history, since it was just a kind of vehicle that was dragged by manpower. However, the abolishment of rickshaw was destined to go through a hard course under a distinct social background of modern Shanghai.

Key words: Shanghai, rickshaw, public traffic, modernization
