Abstract

Based on the quantitative research method to count the number and frequency of dredging in different periods and spatial distribution in Shanghai Old Town from 1617 to 1915, this paper reveals the different characteristics of the siltation of rivers in Shanghai Old Town before and after the opening. Statistics show that the frequency of dredging was low before the opening of Shanghai, but increased sharply after the opening and Shanghai local autonomy period. This shows that the degree of river siltation was becoming more and more serious. After the opening, the structural siltation of the river network was further intensified, leading to the decline of the old dredging efficiency.
