Abstract：From the national and local perspective, this paper constructs the internal and external economic network of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River city cluster based on the data of the headquarters and branches of the top 100 enterprises in Hunan, Jiangxi and Hubei provinces. The results show that: 1) The economic link area of the city cluster in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is expanding, and the number of nodes and edges of the network is increasing. 2) The linkage outside the cluster is centered on the cities in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in an east-west and north-south "cross" structure, and the economic linkage with the economically developed regions across the region is gradually improving. 3) The degree of links between nodes within the cluster has increased, and it has broken through the limitations of administrative divisions to evolve into a polycentric network structure. 4) In the multi-scale economic network, the nodes of the city cluster in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River are divided into five types according to the nodes' internal and external orientation.
