南宋临安的花卉消费与市场供应

The flower consumption and its supply for the market at Lin'an in the Southern Song

南宋都城临安商业十分发达,远远胜过唐代的长安、北宋的东京。其在中国、在世界的城市发展史上,均具有重大而深远的影响。临安社会生活的现代化程度,被认为是"9—13世纪发生在中国的商业革命、城市革命的颇具代表性的一个范例"。本文试图通过南宋临安的花卉消费和市场供应,进一步印证这一论点。

Lin'an(Hangzhou today), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, was very prosperous in commerce and far more developed than Chang'an(capital of the Tang Dynasty) and Dongjing(capital of the Northern Song Dynasty).It had significant and profound influence on the future developments of the cities in both China and the world. The degree to which the city's social life had become modernized made it'a representative example of the revolution of urbanization and commerce happened in China between the 9th and 13 th centuries.'The author tries to confirm the image further by describing the flower consumption and its supply for the market at Lin'an.
