再论宋代作伪现象

Re-discussing About the Counterfeit Phenomena

文章通过对货币、书籍、契约、茶叶、盐、香料、绘画和墨等物品的考察,说明在宋代社会上出现各种各样的作伪现象。政府对此制定措施来制止这一现象,如制定法令、严格鉴别、加强管理、设立专门机构以及派遣专员监督,但效果不佳。其实,这种现象的出现是有其原因的,如经济的发达、文化的繁荣以及官吏的玩忽职守、徇私舞弊都造成两宋作伪行为的泛滥。

With close observation on money, books, contract, tea, salt, spicery, painting ink etc., it is concluded that there are all sorts of phenomenon of faking. The government made out countermeasures to stop this, such as making laws, strict identification, strengthening management, setting up special institution and sending experts to supervise, though not so efficient. In fact, there were reasons for this phenomenon, such as economic development, cultural prospect and administrators’ dereliction of duty, which leads to the boom of counterfeit in the North and South Song Dynasty.
