从宋代文学看两宋商品经济的繁荣

On Prosperity of Commodity Economy:from the Scope of Song Dynasty Literature

几乎所有的历史学家、经济学家都认为,中国社会发展到了明代中叶才出现了手工业、商业的繁荣,商品经济在社会生活中地位有了较高的地位。但是,从文学发展史来分析,中国商业经济的发展与繁荣,则应上溯到宋代,这也是一个不争的事实。文学是社会生活的客观反映,高度发展繁荣的宋代文学,形象地反映了这样的生活现实,使我们认识到两宋是我国经济思想发展的重要时期。

Almost all historians, economists agree that the prosperity of handicraft and commerce did not appear until the mid- Ming Dynasty when the commodity economy had a higher status in social life. However, shown from the history of literature, it＇s an indisputable fact that the development of economy and prosperity of business should be traced back to the Song Dynasty. Literature is an objective reflection of social life. A high degree of development and prosperity of literature in the Song Dynasty reflects the reality of life, which help us understand that the Song Dynasty is an important period of the development of economy and thinking.
