南宋时期的“称提”及其历史启示

“Cheng- ti”of Southern Song Dynasty and Its Historical Enlightenment

南宋时期,纸币的发行与流通进一步扩大,而由于政府无节制的滥发纸币,以货币政策服务于国家财政,不可避免地导致纸币贬值,通货膨胀的问题也越来越严重。为了稳定纸币币值,维持纸币的购买力,"称提"作为一项救弊之策逐渐盛行起来。虽然"称提"之策最终没能挽救南宋的纸币危机,但却不能否认其在中国货币发展史上所占的重要地位。总的来说,南宋时期的纸币管理理论仍有许多值得我们借鉴的地方。

The issue and circulation of paper money had been expanded during the Southern Song Dynasty. However,the government’s immoderate issue of paper money for national finance,which inevitably caused the devaluation of currency and the problem of inflation,became more and more serious. Therefore,＂Cheng- ti＂——a strategy to stabilize the currency value and keep the purchasing power,which became prevalent. It was undeniable that＂Cheng- ti＂had an important point in the history of China’s paper currency development,although it didn’t keep the currency from monetary crisis. In general,many management theories about the paper currency of Southern Song Dynasty are worth of study.
