北京因其咸水而臭名昭著，咸水主要来自威尔斯。本文探讨了北京日常生活中复杂的供水问题，阐明了两种不同的水载体系统：内城的国家载体和外城的私人载体，认为北京的双重水载体系统不仅是环境安排的产物，而且是作为城市空间和社会的二分法而构建的。在某种程度上，清廷利用饮用水的稀缺和安全作为内城社会融合的手段，而在外城则是隔离的手段。
Beijing was notorious for its salty water, which was mainly procured from wells. This paper explores the sophisticated water supply in Beijing’s daily life and clarifies two different water carrier systems: the state carriers in the Inner City and the private carriers in Outer City respectively, and argues that the dual water carrier systems in Beijing not only grew out of the environmental arrangement, but was also constructed as a spatial and social dichotomy of the city. To some extent, the scarcity and security of drinking water was employed by the Qing state as a means of social integration in the Inner City but of segregation in the Outer City.
