论1912—1937年河南租佃制度的特点

On the Characteristics of the Tenancy System of the Republic of China (1912-1937) in Henan

1912-1937年,河南租佃制度的新特点主要表现在:谷租开始占主导地位,租佃关系多以直租立约为主,租期缩短,地租率高于全国平均水平,隐性剥削加重。这一特点不仅反映了租佃方式的新变化,同时,也在一定程度上折射出当时河南经济以农业为主、手工业和工业微弱发展的状况,表明了河南在向近代化迈进过程中步履维艰。

The tenancy system of the public of china （1912-1937） took on a new characteristic. Grain rent was gradually in a dominant position, The direct rent by means of signing a contract was the main pattern of tenancy relation. The rent period was reduced and the rate of land rent was higher than the average level of the whole nation. But the invisible exploitation became heavier. This characteristic not only revealed that agriculture has still taken the predominant position in Henan province＇s economy duing those days; and that hadicraft as well as industry has developed rather slowly. All this indicates Henan province has encountered enormous difficulties on the path to modernization.
