近三十年来明清矿业史研究述评

Commentary on Recent 30-Year Research of Mineral Industry History in Ming and Qing Dynasties

明清矿业史是中国社会经济史的重要组成部分。通过梳理近三十年来明清矿业史研究发现:上世纪80、90年代的研究集中在矿业政策和矿冶业研究两个方面,但侧重点不尽相同:80年代的矿政研究聚焦于明清矿业生产关系性质的争论,90年代的矿政研究向纵深发展,着眼明清政府矿业政策的特点及其社会影响;80年代的矿冶业研究侧重个案研究,90年代的矿冶业研究开始和区域经济相结合,探究明清时期不同地区的矿冶业与区域经济、社会发展之间的互动关系。新世纪以来的明清矿业研究呈现多元、多视角的趋势。明清矿业史研究存在研究选题过度集中、矿业管理思想研究缺位等问题。

The mineral industry history in Ming and Qing Dynasties is a very important component in the economic history in China. Through the study of the recent 30 years research about the Ming and Qing Mineral history, one can find that the research in the 80s-90s of the last century mainly focused on two dimensions; the industry policy and mining and metallurgy. But the focal point is not the same. In the 80s the industry policy study was devoted to the argument about the qualities of the production relation in Ming and Qing mineral industry. The industry policy study in the 90s was in depth about the characteristics of the government policy in Ming and Qing and the combination with the regional economy and study about the interaction of regional economy and social development in different mineral areas. The research of Ming and Qing mineral industry in the new century was in a multi-dimensioned,multi-viewed trend. The research on Ming and Qing mineral industry has problems like too concentrated research topics and the lack of the study of mining management thought.
