明代茶马贸易与边政探析

A Probe into the Tea-for-Horse Barter Trade and Frontier Policies in the Ming Dynasty

明代茶资源占有的不均衡性对茶马贸易双方产生了重要影响,通过考察明政府对茶马贸易的管理措施及茶马比价的变动等茶马贸易实务内容,可以得出的结论是:明政府在茶马贸易中以相当务实和负责的态度管理茶马贸易,并以此来控制西部诸少数民族,贯彻其怀柔羁縻的边疆政策。

This paper Studies how the imbalance of tea resources affected the trading positions between the two parties in the trade and researches into the practice of the government regulations on the barter trade and the changes in the parity between tea and horses in the Ming Dynasty, which indicate a rather practical and responsible management of the government in the trade as a way to control the western minority groups in line with its placating frontier policies.
