This is a main railway line that connects Wuhan (Wuchang) and Guangzhou (1,096 km long), and runs north to south through the three provinces of Hubei, Hunan, and Guangdong. It was planned at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but was finally completed in 1936 with a loan from Britain. However, it was often destroyed during the Sino-Japanese War and the subsequent civil war, and was not able to fully function as a longitudinal railway line. It was only after restoration and improvement after the founding of the People's Republic of China that it was able to function as a north-south main railway line. In 1957, with the completion of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, it was connected to the Beijing-Wuhan (Hankou) Beijing-Hankou Railway, and the two lines are now called the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway.

中国、武漢(武昌(ぶしょう))―広州間(延長1096キロメートル)を結び、湖北、湖南、広東(カントン)の3省を南北に縦貫する幹線鉄道。清(しん)末に計画されたが、最終的にはイギリスからの借款によって、1936年に全通した。しかし、日中戦争とその後の内戦によってしばしば破壊され、縦貫鉄道の機能を十分に果たすことはできず、中華人民共和国成立後の修復、整備によって、初めて南北縦貫幹線としての役割が機能できるようになった。1957年、武漢長江大橋の完成によって、北京(ペキン)―武漢(漢口)間の京漢鉄道と結ばれ、両線を合して現在は京広(けいこう)鉄道と称されている。 [青木栄一] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
