明清时期运城的盐业与教育

Yuncheng's Salt Industry and Education during Ming and Qing Dynasties

明清时期,在盐业经济发展的基础上,为了方便盐商子弟的入学受教,运城形成了以河东运学为主,三大书院和五所社学相互补充的较为完备的教育体系。而这些教育机构创立与发展也都离不开运城盐务机构、官员以及盐商的支持。教育的兴盛已然成为了明清时期运城盐文化的一大特色。

During Ming and Qing Dynasties,a relatively complete educational system for the children of the salt merchants was established because of the development of salt industry.The system centered on Hedong Yunxue（a special school for salt merchants＇ children）,being supplemented by three academies of classical learning and five village schools.Yuncheng salt organizations,salt officials and salt merchants gave substantial support to the establishment and development of this educational system.The thriving education was a major feature of Yuncheng salt industry during Ming and Qing Dynasties.
