先秦两汉河东盐业资源的开发

The Exploration of Salt Industry in Hedong during Pre-Qin Period and Han Dynasty

现有史料表明,至迟从春秋时代起,河东盐业资源已进入商业流通,社会影响日益提升。西汉时期,盐业经营被视为河东地区最为显著的致富渠道,在盐铁专营政策实施后,河东盐更加受到政府的重视。东汉章帝在制定盐铁政策时两次巡幸河东,盐池受到了空前的关注。为了保障盐业生产的正常进行,东汉政府还兴修水利,对盐池加以保护。

The relevant historical materials showed that the salt in Hedong had been commercial since the Spring and Autumn period at the latest, and had growing influence on society. In the Western Han Dynasty, salt business was regarded as the most significant way to acquire wealth. After implementing the policy of salt-iron monopolization, salt in Hedong got more attention from the government. Emperor Zhang of Eastern Han Dynasty made two inspection tours in Hedong, salt of Hedong thus received unprecedented attention. In order to ensure regular salt production, the government of the Eastern Han Dynasty also maintained salt lake by building water conservancy facilities.
