明代晋商在徐州兴起之影响因素刍议

On the Factors Influencing the Rise of Shanxi Merchants in Xuzhou in the Ming Dynasty

明代初期,晋商在徐州地区安家落户。因为元末战乱,徐州地区人口急剧减少;山西境内因生存发展需要,大量人口迁出,迁入江苏徐州等地,为晋商在徐州地区的发展奠定了人口基础。徐州独特的地理自然条件为晋商的贸易发展提供了便利的交通。明初晋商以开中制为契机,率先在全国开展边际贸易活动,在徐之晋商利用徐州五省通衢、水陆便利的地理战略优势,将其作为沟通南北的交通贸易要道,使得徐州日益成为南北物资交流的集散区域。明代晋商在徐州地区的发展为晋商在全国地区的贸易提供了交通上的便利,同时也为徐州地区的发展带来了重要的历史发展机遇。

In the early Ming Dynasty,Shanxi merchants settled in Xuzhou area.Because of the wars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty,the population of Xuzhou area decreased sharply;due to the needs of survival and development,a large population emigrated from Shanxi Province,and immigrated to Xuzhou,Jiangsu,which laid a population basis for the development of Shanxi merchants in Xuzhou area.The unique geographical conditions Xuzhou provided a convenient traffic condition for the trade development of Shanxi merchants.At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty,with the salt administration system as an opportunity,Shanxi merchants took the lead in the country to carry out marginal trade activities.Due to its convenient traffic condition,Xuzhou increasingly became the distribution area for north-south goods exchange.The development of Shanxi merchants in Xuzhou area in the Ming Dynasty provided traffic convenience for the trade of Shanxi merchants in the whole country,and also brought important historical development opportunities for the development of Xuzhou area.
