民国时期贵州烟草种植与影响

Tobacco Cultivation and Its Influence in Guizhou during the Period of the Republic of China

烟草作为代表性经济作物于明末传入贵州,到了民国时期各地普遍种植。烟草的推广种植有利于减少鸦片种植,成为代替鸦片种植的重要经济作物之一。烟草的普遍种植在带动经济发展的同时,对调节传统种植结构、改变耕作制度以及影响人们生活习惯等方面都产生了积极作用。

Tobacco, as a representative cash crop, was introduced into Guizhou in the late Ming Dynasty,and was widely planted in various places during the period of the Republic of China. The popularization andcultivation of tobacco helped reduce opium cultivation and it became one of the important cash crops insteadof opium cultivation. The widespread cultivation of tobacco not only promoted the economic development, butalso played a positive role in adjusting the traditional planting structure, changing the farming system and affecting people's living habits.
