宋代是中国历史发展进程中的重要阶段。在宋代的社会结构中,一个脱离了社会正常秩序的群体——游民群体异军崛起。游民群体的大量存在是宋代社会发展过程中出现的一个不同于前代的社会现象,其形成原因为宋代土地政策的重大调整、国家控制力的减弱和城市经济的畸形繁荣。游民群体在宋代这个特殊的时代释放着不可忽视的影响力,分析宋代的游民群体将有助于揭示历史的真相,还原宋代历史变迁的过程。

A significant phase in the development process of the Chinese history,the Song Dynasty witnessed the sudden rise of the vagrant community—a group out of the normal social order in its social structure. The extensive occurrence of the vagrant community in the Song Dynasty is a social phenomenon in its social development process,distinct from previous dynasties; while its widespread existence is rooted in the major readjustment of the land policy in the Song Dynasty. Meanwhile,the weakening of state control and the abnormal economic prosperity of the city also provided an important condition for the emergence of the vagrant community. Given the un-neglected impact exerted by the vagrant community in the specific era—the Song Dynasty,an analysis of such special community is conducive to revealing the truth of history and to restoring the process of historical changes in the Song Dynasty.
