司马迁不囿于传统的地理分区观念,把经济因素与地理条件作为划分区域的首要考虑原则,首次提出经济地理分区。这种有利于经济发展的区划思想,在当时具有解放思想的作用。 Sima Qian is not divided into the traditional concept of geographical division, the economic factors and geographical conditions as the primary consideration of the division of the region, for the first time proposed geographical division of the economy. This kind of zoning thinking that is conducive to economic development was at that time emancipating the mind.
