摘要
明清时期，在茶马贸易和“重商”主义因素的诱导下，陕甘青一些城镇的发展有了一套与传统农耕城镇完全不同的经营模式——这正是明清以来人口膨胀和全国性移民的结果。西北地区因茶马贸易繁荣的城镇与苏松江浙一带兴起的工商业城镇一样，都体现了明清时期商品经济在全国的发展。西北商业城镇的勃兴加强了内地与西北地区的经贸联系，促进了西北商业市场的最终形成。
In the Ming and Qing dynasty, the tea-horse trade and 'mercantilism' induced a new business modelin the process of the development of the towns in Shaanxi, Gansu and Qinghai, and the model was totally differ-ent from the traditional one. The new model was the outcome of the population expansion and large-scale migra-tion in the Ming and Qing dynasty. The towns in northwestern regions, which were prosperous owning to the tear-horse trade, were like the industrial and commercial towns in southeastern regions, reflected the development ofChina's commodity economy in the Ming and Qing dynasty. The emergence of commercial towns in northwesternregions, had strengthened the trade and economic ties between the inland and northwestern regions, and promot-ed the formation of commercial market in northwest regions.
