魏晋南北朝时期的粮食贸易

Food Trade in Wei,Jin,and the Northern and Southern Dynasties

粮食是魏晋南北朝时期最主要的大宗商品之一,粮食贸易范围遍及地方小市场、商业都会等城乡市场。贩运是粮食贸易的主要方式,同时粮食又作为实物交换媒介大量进入流通领域。和两汉时期一样,在封建生产方式和经济结构没有发生根本变化的情况下,农民、地主和封建国家都与粮食贸易发生不可分割的必然联系。学术界有关魏晋南北朝时期商品贸易以土特产品和高档消费品为主的看法值得商榷。

Food, the most important of the goods in bulk in the Wei, the Jin, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, found its trade everywhere in local bazaars, commercial capitals and other markets both in the cities and countryside, with shipping goods as the major means of the trade. And food also entered into circulation as the result of material object exchange. As in the two Han Dynasties, because no fundamental change had taken place in the feudal production mode and economical structure, peasants, landlords and the feudal government had an indispensable tie with the trade. The view that trade in the periods mainly relied on local or native products and high-end consumer goods is still open to discussion.
