The Agricultural Development of Songjiang Prefecture and Its Status in Ming and Qing Dynasty——A Research Centered on the Grain's Manufacture and Supply

明清时期,松江府是全国的棉纺织业中心,长期以来人们往往强调这是人口和重赋双重压力下的产物,同时,发达的棉纺织业使这里的经济结构发生了巨大的变化。本文考察明清松江府人地资源的配置比例和粮食的生产和供应后指出,发达的棉纺织业并非人口和重赋双重压力下的产物,粮食生产的基础性并未动摇,商品经济虽然发达,但自然经济瓦解的程度是非常有限的。

Many experts had thought it is the result of the pressure of population and heavy tax in that region, the cotton textile industry altered the economic structure of that region. After inspecting the ratio between human and land resources, the output and supplement of grain, the article point out that the cotton textile industry is not the result of pressure of population and heavy tax, and that the foundation of grain manufacturing was not shaken, and that the degree of the natural economy＇s collapse was relatively small although the market economy boomed at that time.
