商人与经济史、文化史及文学史

The Relationship Between Businessmen and Economic History,Cultural History and Literary History

经济史、文化史、文学史的研究对商人及其作用关注不够,文学史的研究更有待于拓展视域和空间。通过对明清时期留有文墨的商人的研究,我们可以进入到经济史上部分商人的心灵世界,他们不再是抽象的"商人"。商人对文化史的发展有重要贡献,如戏曲、园林建筑、文物收藏等,这些贡献又延伸到文学创作之中。明清时期商人不仅参与文学创作,而且在一定程度上改变了文学生态。研究商人与经济史、文化史和文学史的关系,可以丰富经济史和文化史的研究,更有助于深化对文学史的认识。

In the study of economic history,cultural history,literary history and the role of businessmen there was always insufficient attention which was given. Thus it needs more study of literary history and still has much space to expand the field of view. With researches in the businessmen of great learning we can enter into their spiritual world in the economic history,and find that they are no longer businessmen in an abstract sense. Merchants have actually made important contributions to the development of cultural history,such as drama,landscape architecture,and other cultural relics collection,and extend these contributions to literary creation. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties,businessmen were not only involved in literary creation,but also has,to some extent,changed the literary ecology. The relationship between businessmen and economic history,cultural history and literary history,can not only enrich the study of economic history and cultural history,but also help to deepen the understanding of the history of literature.
