明代云南地区出现过商屯吗?——《明史·食货志》“商屯说”纠谬

Is There "shangdun"in Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty? A Misinterpretation of a Term inA Record of Food and Commodities: A History of the Ming Dynasty

商屯是明代推行盐法开中时派生出的一种经济形式。明代的云南地区普遍存在商屯的观点已成人们一致的共识。但翻检史籍发现,“云南商屯说”是错误的,明代云南地区没有出现过商屯,之所以有明代云南地区“商屯说”的产生,缘于《明史.食货志》中将“商屯”与“开中”混为一谈,误导了后人。

“shangdun” was an economic form from the “kaizhong” of the salt law in the Ming Dynasty. It is universally agreed that“shangdun” existed in Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, with which the author disagrees because history books have proved it wrong. This misunderstanding originated from a misinterpretation of a term in A Record of Food and Commodities. A History of the Ming Dynasty which confused “shangdun” with “kaizhong” and the successive generations followed suit.
