宋代铜冶业研究

The Copper Metallurgy Industry of Song Dynasty

宋代的铜冶业发展成效显著,矿税量激增,产地扩大,新的炼铜法得到推广。由生产力的迅速发展带来的经营方式的不断变革对铜冶业的发展也产生了重要的影响。宋室南渡后,铜冶业走上了衰落的道路。其原因主要在于战乱、国土沦丧、政府对坑冶剥削的加重以及长期胡乱开采造成的环境恶化等。

Copper metallurgy industry made a great development in Song Dynasty with large increase of mining tax, expansion of producing area, implementation and spread of new metallurgy methods. After the Southern Song Dynasty established, copper metallurgy industry began to decline. There are several reasons for that presenting in this paper. The first is warfare which leads to disorder of society and loss of lands, the second is aggravation of exploitation from feudalism government. Deterioration of the environment due to reckless exploitation are also responsible for that.
