北宋广州、明州市舶司功能定位探析

The Study for Guangzhou and Mingzhou's Shibosi Functional Location in North-Song Dynasty

广州、明州市舶司是北宋最重要、最有代表性的市舶司。广州和明州之所以能够被选为市舶司所在地,这和它们在地理位置、对外贸易交往历史、造船业发达等方面具有的优势息息相关。但是从两地市舶司在北宋时期的发展轨迹分析,它们在功能定位上是不一样的,广州市舶司属于经济功能大于政治功能的市舶司,而明州市舶司则刚好相反。两地市舶司之间的这种不同的定位,也导致了他们在整个北宋时期发展路径的截然不同。

Guangzhou and Mingzhou were the most important and symbolical Shibosi （International Trade Administrative Bureau in Song Dynasty） in North-Song Dynasty. The Reason why they were chosen as the address of Shibosi was mainly for their Geographical place. However, after the study of the two ports＇ developing courses, we find that their functions were different, Guangzhou was more political then economical, but Mingzhou was on the opposite. The different functional location lead to their completely contrary develoDing courses during North-Song Dynasty.
