清末奖励工商章程述评

The Comment on Rewarding Industry and Commerce Articles in the Late Qing Dynasty

甲午战争后,清政府一改传统的"抑商""困商",而实行鼓励兴办实业,提高商人社会地位的奖励工商政策,十年之内先后颁布修订5部奖励工商章程。奖励工商章程的颁布有利于提高商人社会地位、促进近代实业的发展,是晚清政府学习西方经济立法的成果之一。由于所拟章程严重脱离实际,缺乏吸引力,未能取得预期效果。

After the Sino-Japanese War,the government of Qing Dynasty changed its traditional restraining commerce and exhausting commerce policy into rewarding industry and commerce policy for encouraging the running of industries and raising the social position of businessmen.The government of Qing Dynasty had issued five rewarding industry and commerce articles.The issuing of rewarding industry and commerce articles,which was in favour of raising the social position of businessmen and encouraging the running of modern industries,was one of the achievements of the government of the late Qing Dynasty in learning western countries＇ economic legislation.However,these articles couldn＇t produce the desired results because of seriously divorcing from reality and being short of attractive force.
