川盐外运的历史成因、空间地理及价值考量

Outward Delivery of Sichuan Salt—Historical Causes,Space Geography and Value Consideration

自清代至民国时期的川盐外运具有其深层的社会历史背景,随着川盐的外销空间区域不断扩大,逐步形成了五条川盐销售网络。笔者的研究侧重于历史上的川盐外运行为,探究川盐外运中隐含的"国家—盐商—盐场"的三维互动结构,同时揭示深层的"国家化"不断建构过程,即通过川盐的官收完成国家政治权力的渗透,乃至于最终实现对西南地区社会整合的重要目的。

From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China,the outward delivery of Sichuan salt was conducted against some deep social and historical background,thus leading to the gradual setup of five sales networks for Sichuan salt with the continuous expansion of its export scope. In this paper,the study is focused on the historical outward delivery of Sichuan salt,on exploring the three interactive structure of ＂nation-salt merchants-salt works＂implicit in the outward delivery of Sichuan salt,and on revealing the deep process of constant construction of ＂nationalization＂—the fulfillment of the penetration of state political power through the official purchase of salt works in Sichuan—so as to realize the important purpose of social integration in southwest China.
