隋唐五代时期西北的经济开发思想

The Idea of Developing the Economy in the West during the Period of Sui,Tang and Five Dynasties

军需供应是历代官方开发西北经济的动因和动力,隋唐五代也不例外。这一时期,中央王朝在西北屯田以益军储、养马以壮国威、贸易以睦四邻的开发思路和实践,在调剂各族生产生活余缺、怀柔远人以及促进民族心理认同等方面,都起了积极的作用,是当时国家强盛的思想和物质基础之一,也为其后各代西北的经济开发提供了经验。

The supply of munition is the motives and driving force for developing the economy in the west by the governments of past dynasties, not excluding Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties. During this period, the central governments carried out the developing idea and practice of having garrison troops open up wasteland and grow food grain in the northwest to increase the munition storage, of raising horses to strengthen the military force, of dong trade with the neighboring areas to keep a harmonious relationship with them. This idea and practice played an active role in relieving the burden of the common people, pacifying the people in remote areas and promoting the national psychological identification. As one of the ideological and material foundation for the prosperity of the nation at the time, this kind of idea and practice offers valuable experience of developing the economy in the west for the later dynasties. This article sums up mainly the formation and the content of this developing idea.
