摘要
上海赛马在1945年停止,以后关于禁止赛马、改变跑马厅功能的舆论持续了很长时间,1951年尘埃落定,跑马厅被改为人民公园人民广场。关于跑马厅功能改变的过程,张宁博士已经作了很好的研究,本文主要从思想史角度,说明随着跑马厅自身功能的变化,随着时代思潮的变迁,跑马厅的象征意义一变再变,起初是比较单一的休闲场所,后来变成骗财害命的赌场、歧视华人的场所、帝国主义炫耀武力的地方,变成众恶丛集的魔鬼象征。改变跑马厅的呼声与反对帝国主义、收回租界、向往文明、向往民主的斗争一起高涨。从20世纪30年代至50年代,尽管执政党发生变化,政权发生更替,但思想领域、意识形态方面存在着明显的连续性。
Horse race in Shanghai was stopped in 1945 and debates about forbiddance of horse race and change of racecourse's function lasted for a long time.The paper makes an examination about evolution of racecourse's function and concludes that symbolic significance of racecourse gradually changed from a simple site for leisure to a casino and even a site of discriminating Chinese and displaying foreign imperial power.So calls for transformation of racecourse rose up within struggles against imperialism which reflected continuity of ideology from 1930s to 1950s.
